Set default location for new Pt Cloud DB?

[doni49]

I'm using C3D 2014 to create new point clouds.  We want the pt cloud db to be stored on the network with the other project data.  But every time I create a new pt cloud, the default location for the PT Cloud DB is back to "My Documents".

Where do I change the default location?  I looked on the settings tab of Toolspace but wasn't able to find such a setting.

TIA!

I was previously working in a new dwg file on which I hadn't done the initial save -- I figured I'd import a couple clouds and then save (and re-save ever every 2-3 clouds) have been brought in.  Once I saved the dwg file, the default location for the new point cloud databses changed to the same location as the dwg file.  That's still not what we want.

But in addition to that, it won't let me CHANGE location.

As you can see from the first screen shot, I've specified a location for my ISD file.  Then in the second screenshot, you can see the filename that it created for the DB -- they DON'T MATCH.

I have found no way of setting a default save location.  Seems as this is just one of those things you always have to just deal with, as a user may want to save point cloud databases where ever they like.

I don't know much about it but this if from help - "Understanding Point Clouds"

The point cloud database is a collection of three files: .iati, .isd, and .prmd. The ISD (.isd) file format is the primary point cloud database format.

They may limit where the ISD file is stored to avoid breaking links with the other files. Just a big guess on my part.
