I have been migrating dozens and dozens of .pat files from one version of AutoCAD to the next for many, many versions. Most recently in AutoCAD 2013 the .pat files were stored in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2013\Support\Patterns - worked fine. During the migration to 2014 I received an install error report stating that this subdirectory did not exist and could not be created. Alternately it stated that the new default path C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roamiong\Autodesk|AutoCAD 2014\R19.1\enu\Support will be used instead.
At first I created the Patterns subdirectory where it could not be done automatically. No luck. Then I placed the Patterns subdirectory in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roamiong\Autodesk|AutoCAD 2014\R19.1\enu\Support\Patterns and no luck.
Any suggestions to get my typical patterns back into play would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Maurice
Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!
Have you tried to add "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roamiong\Autodesk|AutoCAD 2014\R19.1\enu\Support\Patterns" to AutoCAD Support File Search Path in AutoCAD Options dialog?
