%userprofile% and %username%

[Stemdriller]

Hi,

Can someone advise me as to whether we can use the above %userprofile% or %username%  in the Options area for Autocad.

I am trying to set a profile thats uses each users indivdual cuix file.

So for example U:\Users\%username%\AutoCAD\Local.cuix

But it would appear that Autocad cannot read the %username%.

Any hints or ideas most welcome.

Thanks

The Support Paths are hard coded, so the path using a ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE will be evaluated as text..

Perhaps something like this

(strcat "U:\\Users\\" (getvar 'LOGINNAME) "\\AutoCAD\\Local.cuix");; to get the correct path

 and the use "setenv" or "vl-registry-write" to write it to the registry...

Or, if you are like most places with each computer having only one user, take them out of the ...\Users\... folder entirely to remove dependancy on a specific user name.
