Moving the Local Work Folder

When you download files from the cloud, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform stores files in a Local Work Folder on your computer at C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\DassaultSystemes\3DEXPERIENCE. You can move this folder to a new location using the CacheMove command-line utility.

The default location of the Local Work Folder is C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\DassaultSystemes\3DEXPERIENCE

If you specify a different location at install, use that path instead.

You should have administrator privileges on your machine to run this utility or consult your platform administrator.

To move the Local Work Folder using the CacheMove utility:

  1. Open a Command Prompt window.
  2. To run the utility, enter the following command:

    cd C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\SOLIDWORKS 3DEXPERIENCE\win_b64\USWC

    This example is the default location. If you specify a different location at install, use that path instead.

  3. The following options are available for the CacheMove utility:
    Option Description Example
    CacheMove -d or CacheMove --display Displays the current location of the Local Work Folder. CacheMove -d

    Cache location: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\DassaultSystemes\3DEXPERIENCE
    CacheMove <path> Moves the empty Local Work Folder to the new location. CacheMove E:\3DEXP

    Moving the cache from C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\DassaultSystemes\3DEXPERIENCE to E:\3DEXP\
    CacheMove –ne path or CacheMove -–non_empty path Moves the nonempty Local Work Folder to a new location. CacheMove -ne E:\3DEXP\
