Fetch_Path sets the default path that PyMOL uses to load files from before it tries to download them from the PDB.
Details
If you have a local copy of the PDB on your machine, say in directory /spc/pdb then, once you set Fetch_Path to that directory the fetch command will look in /spc/pdb before going to the PDB for your file. Also, the files fetched from the PDB are stored here once downloaded.
Usage and Examples
set fetch_path, path
set fetch_path, /spc/pdb
set fetch_path, D:\mypdbs\
Hints
If you have a local directory for storing files then put
set fetch_path, /your/path/here
in your pymolrc file to auto set this setting.
