The following variables are automatically set to default locations (determined from, for example, $MGC_HOME) upon installation of the tool. You can choose to manually set these variables to point to a different location. When PADS I/O Designer is invoked and these variables are set, then the tool replaces the background default values with the values that you specified.
To verify what variables are set, click Setup > Settings + Paths.
If some of these variables do not work, it is possible that you have some paths manually set, so check your configuration file (IODesigner.xml) for any preference settings. See "Configuration File (IODesigner.xml)" for more details.
To set these variables in Windows, use Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables.
