Macro folder redirection through environment variable does not work ?

  • 1.  Macro folder redirection through environment variable does not work ?

    Hi guys,

    as the most of my customers and partners are having issues with the read-only property of the MacroCommands3 folder (as expected BTW), I´ve tried to create first manually the environment variables as described by the TBC team as follows:

    "TBC does support macro folder redirection. If you define an environment variable named "TBC_Macro3Path", the value of the variable should be the folder where TBC should search for macros (instead of C:\ProgramData\Trimble\MacroCommands3). Environment variable "TBC_Macro3Path2" can be used to define a folder that TBC searches in addition to the normal folder."

    For some reason, it does not work on my side. Not sure whether I´m doing something wrong, but did any of you tried it and it works?

    Thanks a lot.

    Regards,

    Fernando

    Remember you need to restart TBC to pick up environment changes. If running from Visual Studio, you need to restart that too.
