Environment Variable Settings

The interface stores the STD file and other user files in the %AVEVA_DESIGN_USER%\SAIFiles\ directory by default. The standard location for the %AVEVA_DESIGN_USER%\SAIFiles\ directory is C:\Users\Public\Documents\AVEVA\USERDATA\SAIFiles\

If a different storage location is required, the environment variable SAI-SP can be used. To set the variable:

Create a folder, for example, D:\StaadProTrans.

Add the following line in the evars.bat file:

set SAISP=D:\StaadProTrans

or set a project specific environment variable %abcSAISP%. Whereas abc stands for the project code. If both environmental variables are set and both directories exist, the project specific directory is preferred. Write access must be granted to the desired directory.
