AVEVA™ E3D Design

Command Line Definable Directories

  • Last UpdatedAug 18, 2026

The following directories can be set on the Command Line, in the same way that Properties are assigned.

Directory Id

Explanation

AVEVA_DESIGN_USER

Specifies the AVEVA_DESIGN_USER directory location

AVEVA_DESIGN_WORK

Specifies the AVEVA_DESIGN_WORK directory location

AVEVA_DESIGN_DFLTS

Specifies the PMLUI\DFLTS directory location

PROJECT

Specifies the directory to extract the models to

PRODUCTDIR

Specifies the root product directory location

TARGETDIR

Target location for an Administrative Installation

ROOTDRIVE

The Partition where All Applications will be targeted (unless application directories are set).

As with Properties, Directories for which the Id's are all uppercase, can be re-defined on a Command Line. They must also be addressed in uppercase on the Command Line, because Id's are case sensitive.

for example, PRODUCTDIR="C:\Some Path with Spaces in it\"

Will make AVEVA E3D Design install to:

"C:\Some Path with Spaces in it"

Rather than to:

C:\AVEVA\E3D DesignX.X

Note:
There is no space around the equals (=) sign.

Note:
The quotes surround the value, and would be unnecessary if the value had no space within it.
