The DatabaseDir.rsrc file lists the name and location of each database to which you have access. It is automatically updated (or created if no databases exist) each time you create a new database. You can easily modify your default database and database paths by editing this file using the User Tools dialog box.
Note: SOFTIMAGE|3D maintains a list of databases located in the DatabaseDir.rsrc file. You can have several users on one machine, each with their own DatabaseDir.rsrc file.
The SI_DBDIR environment variable points to the directory in which the DatabaseDir.rsrc file resides. See the table below for the location:

When modifying the DatabaseDir.rsrc file, use the following syntax:
