Solution glennw Posted November 5, 2014 Solution Share Posted November 5, 2014 If you go Preferences...General...Folders...and click All Program Paths...Show, it will give you the path to User Library Database File. Ah...that could be compromised by the fact that you had a hard disk crash and are looking on a backup. This is my path in Windows, you may need someone with a Mac to give you the address. C:\Users\Glenn\Documents\Chief Architect Premier X6 Data\Database Libraries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkClemons Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 By default it is stored in Documents under the Chief Architect X6 Data directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscott Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Can the Program Paths be customized? I don't want anything stored on my "C" (boot and OS) drive. I installed the program on my 2 TB drive, which is my "G:" drive, and all other X8 related Program Paths data to go to my SSD "E:" drive. I can't have these other files on "C" because it is too small and thus I only want it to support the OS. Can I relocate these files and folders and correct the Paths in the X8.ini file? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Take a look at these settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscott Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Can you show the whole list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Scott, when you click the All Programs Show button that you see in Rich's post, you will see all of the paths Chief uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscott Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Right, and I have attempted to edit the X8.ini file to redirect the program to a different drive. Once saved and all the files are moved to the respective locations I specified, I restart X8. When I checked the "All Program Paths" I side X8 is stills shows the old (original locations) and not the new ones. Will call tech support Monday. Never thought I would see the day when 128GB is not enough storage for an OS and a few programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkClemons Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Unfortunately, this is just not possible right now. You are able to redirect the User data folder, and the Undo and Temp folders. But you are not able to redirect program data. It's hard coded into the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if this feature has been changed. My catalogs are far too big to keep on my OS HDD. Please let me know, this would be great help if they would be able to move.

KirkClemons Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 As of X9, this is still not a feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this helps .. The biggest use of space by Chief on mine is the archives which is currently 32GB (haven't cleaned it up in a year). Libraries for both X8 and X9 combined are about 20GB. My drive is bigger but currently use 120 GB with both X8 and 9 along with 90 folders in the program files and program files (x86) folder. Only the Chief data folders and TurboCad folders are in the C documents-all other documents point to D. Cleaning up the archives my total would be well below 100GB. I don't use hibernate which saves a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Maybe this will help: My Data Folder: D:\Dropbox\Chief Architect Premier X9 Data\ My Temporary Folder: C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp\ My Undo Folder: C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp\ This puts the Archives, Backdrops, Database Libraries, Hotkeys, Images, Lex, Patterns, Scripts, Textures and Toolbars all on my D Drive. I also have my Current Projects on the D Drive: D:\Dropbox\Chief Architect Projects\X9\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
