GearHeads Forum

I'd like to clarify my original comment. I would still like more control over where project files are saved but I just learned from Art that project (.gth) files need to be saved in C:\Gearotic Motion
(or a subdirectory under that). This is probably old hat to most users on here but I'm new and didn't know.

In the scheme of things this is pretty trivial, but I would like to suggest that file save locations could be made more standard. Right now (Gearotic2 V 3.170000):
1) if you export a .dxf, the exported files go to the <Default Data Folder specified in Global Settings>/<Project Name>
2) if you save your project .gth file, you can specify the project directory
3) Summary Reports are saved to the <Project directory>/GearData/<Project Name>/Summary.txt

For my workflow, it would be an improvement if I could just say where I wanted each file to save. Just like you can for the project. Or an alternative would be that exported files also go into <Project directory>/GearData (without the additional Project Name directory). To me, this is a more normal way to handle file save.
