7.1.1. Changing the value of the Global OS Temp Directory parameter

When using the “Global OS Temp Directory” option, the location of the “Working directory for cache files” parameter is contained inside the “%TEMP%” MS-Windows Environment Variable (you can still change this default behavior for a particular graph using the “Anatella Global Settings” windows).

 

To change the “%TEMP%” Environment Variable:

 

1.Press the [Win]+[R] keys simultaneously. This opens the “Run” window:
