Changing File Path Locations

[dkaven]

I'm looking for a way to change the file path locations for the Survey Figure Prefix Lib. Etc, so to location the Fig Lib stc to a network drive. In LDT I was able to change the DFM file and or use the user preferences.

Thanks

These are stored in the registry and are Profile dependent.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6000:409\Profiles\PROFILENAME\Preferences\AeccUiSurvey50\

FigurePrefixDbPath
FigurePrefixDbName

Now, you can change them in C3D: Survey menu -> Edit User Settings
You can change them via the Registry Editor
You can change them with code (VBA shown)

Sub EditSurveyPaths()
Dim AeccApp As AeccSurveyApplication
Dim AeccDoc As AeccSurveyDocument
Dim oSettings As AeccSurveyUserSettings
Dim strNewPath As String

strNewPath = "C:\Test\"
Set AeccApp =
Application.GetInterfaceObject("AeccXUiSurvey.AeccSurveyApplication.5.0")
Set AeccDoc = AeccApp.ActiveDocument

Set oSettings = AeccDoc.GetUserSettings
oSettings.FigurePrefixDatabasePath = strNewPath
AeccDoc.UpdateUserSettings oSettings

End Sub
