Unable to create new project.

Hello forum, i am facing a problem with creating new projects. I get prompted with this message:

"Unable to create project file: /Users/XXXX/Desktop/iMAC/XXXX/XXXX/TEMPLATES/DWG <AutoCad>/PROJECT MANAGER FILES/SETUP/TEMPLATE SETUP.IMPERAIL.dst"

I want to create the new project file in a specific folder and for some reason AC is not having it. If i attempt to create a new project on the iMac desktop AC creates the project without a problem then. Does anyone have a clue as to what is causing this ??

Hello,

That is because of unsupported characters in the path you are trying to use:
<> - not allowed.
