New Project Location

[sdbell]

Hi

Could anyone tell me if I can change the folder that ACE points at when i create a new project. It always seems to point to the 'Proj' folder way down in my profiles route.

Cheers

You can edit the line in the WD.ENV file, the original of which is shown below.

**************************************************************************** Project and drawing-related paths and settings
***************************************************************************
WD_PROJ,%WD_DIR%/proj/,AutoCAD Electrical default project data folder

You can change to be like this (with your own drive letter):

WD_PROJ,H:/PROJ/,AutoCAD Electrical default project data folder

You may also need to put this (H:/PROJ) into your File Support Search path. Be certain to make a backup copy in case ACE replaces the file.

When I have the default drawing open and i click 'save as' ACE points to a 'Personal' Folder somewhere in my profile. I can't seem to find anything in the WD.ENV file that relates to this path. Do you know if I can change this path elsewhere

Cheers

Do you have the PROJ folder path in your Support File Search Path? This path muxt be the same as what is in the ENV file. This is the way I am set up, and the SAVEAS defaults to my specific network project folder. If this path is in the serach path, you might try moving the reference up or down, as the location may affect the funstionality (mine is the fourth line below the AutoCAD stuff, and not the last on the list).

The "Personal" folder stuff is because ACE is "Windows Compliant". Don't even get me started on that soapbox!
