Some of the files under the WDIR (for example: user.cns) are not compatible with all versions of SDD (EE/BSXE/PADS/IND) Flow software, and in some cases can actually cause applications to crash. For this reason it is advisable to maintain a different WDIR location for each release. Here is a simple technique for doing so:


Create a Configurator.ini file. Place this file in a folder of your choice, although C:\MentorGraphics\win32 is a good and simple to find location (same directory as the Configurator.exe).
See below format, which will create a C:\WDIR\<release> for each release that you configure to. For example, C:\WDIR\7.9.5EE and C:\WDIR\9.5PADS, for EE7.9.5 and PADS9.5, respectively.
All three lines must appear in order for the WDIR to get set correctly. Change the MGLS_LICENSE_FILE to the port@host (or local file path) for your licensing environment.


[defaults]
MGLS_LICENSE_FILE=1717@myServer
WDIR=c:\WDIR\%SDD_VERSION%;%SDD_HOME%\standard


Create a CFGR_INI environment variable and set it to the full location of the Configurator.ini file.
For example: CFGR_INI = C:\MentorGraphics\win32\Configurator.ini

With this setup in place, every time you run the Configurator to switch versions the WDIR will change to the appropriate release-specific folder.
