Changing work space

I need to change the work space that Apex uses to store files,  like projects and autosaves, anyone knows how to do this?
  • 1. Apex Startup
    Apex is started with a batch script:
    "%comspec% " /c "C:\MSC.Software\MSC Apex\2015-349378\runMSC_Apex.bat"
     
     
    2. Apex Files
    2.1. First Start
    Apex creates
    • the folder “%userprofile%\Documents\ MSC_Apex Workspace”
    including the file “MSC_Apex.log” and a default “Model” subfolder.
    • the settings file “%userprofile%\Documents\MSC_ApexConfig.xml”
    containing user settings and last path information.
    2.2. Save Model
    When you save a model, Apex saves the model folder in the selected “Save As” location. This location is saved as variable "UserSettingsFilePath" in the file %userprofile%\Documents\MSC_ApexConfig.xml”.
    2.3. Second Start
    The "UserSettingsFilePath" variable saved in the file “%userprofile%\Documents\MSC_ApexConfig.xml” in the previous session defines the new model file path.
    2.4. Model folder
    The Apex model folder contains the project file (project.apex) and a subfolder “Model Files” with the database (Model.db) and the session recording files (*.rec).
     
    3. Open a Database in Batch
    To open a database in batch use the “project.apex” file as first option of the startup command:
    e.g.
    “C:\MSC.Software\MSC Apex\2015-349378\runMSC_Apex.bat” “c:\scratch\my_model\project.apex”
