Specifying the Location of Shared Data

Go Up to Configuring and Customizing

1. Choose Tools > Options, and then click the Directories tab.
2. In the File Path dialog, browse to an existing directory you want to store your shared files.

   • Note: ER/Studio Data Architect will create a directory that does not exist but not a directory path. If your path has multiple levels it will need to be previously created.

3. In the Options dialog, click OK. When closing the dialog ER/Studio Data Architect creates and/or searches in the changed directory.
4. If you are moving any of the following directories, you will need to copy the contents of the DataTypeMapping, Macros or Sample Models directories to the new location.
5. To effect the changes, please restart ER/Studio Data Architect.
