Editing the Environment Script (setenv.bat and .xsi_2013)

 
 
 

The environment script file contains environment variables required to run Softimage. Environment variables tell Softimage where important files are located and also let you customize your environment. On Windows systems, this file is called setenv.bat; on Linux, it is called .xsi_2013.

The environment script file is located in %SI_HOME%\Application\bin on Windows, and $SI_HOME or your home directory on Linux. You can set environment variables by editing this file in the User Tools dialog box.

To edit your environment script, you can either cut and paste examples of the environment variables or you can type the contents directly in the file.

Here are some basic instructions for the setenv.bat or .xsi_2013 file:

See the Environment Variable Reference for information on the different types of environment variables used by Softimage and detailed descriptions of each variable that can be set in the environment script.
