Default Pipe and Duct Systems

I have created a template file that defines all the necessary systems for my
BS objects, and when our users start a new drawing with the template all the
systems come in correctly. The problem is that when you start using ABS on
an existing CAD drawing without the template, these systems do not exist,
only the default ABS systems. I see that there is a file under "Documents
and Settings\...\enu\Styles\Imperial\" called "Pipe System Definitions.dwg".
Here the default systems are defined. Instead of changing this file on
every computer, I'd like to have a version of this file on our network that
is referenced by every computer. Even better, I'd like to move the whole
"Styles" folder to the network. I do not see this folder in the search
path, so I cannot simply move it and change the path, where is the reference
to the path where these systems definitions files are located? I need to be
able to change this setting.

Hi Kyle -

The system defs aren't pulled from any of those files. Those files are there
as additional / backup style definitions, but are not pulled in
automatically by the program. If you want to get system defs in existing
drawings you should be able to simply insert a drawing with the system defs
in it into the current drawing.
