Moving the My Work Folder

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

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

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

To move the My 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 My Work folder. CacheMove -d

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