Data shortcuts

I'm working on existing project. When I set my working folder nothing shows beside Data Shorcuts. If I then try to Associate Project to Current Drawing I have no option to associate with. Any ideas? So far the only thing that works is making a new shortcut folder.

Is it possible you have set your Project Folder as the Working Folder?

The Project Folder is for each specific project; it is inside the Working Folder.

If you think it should be made easier to use, give a vote here:

Here's what I'm setting as the working folder. This is the existing structure that was originally set up.

In my experience the "_Shortcuts" folder is inside the Project Folder.
In that case your Project Folder must be "Data Shortcuts"
and your Working Folder must be "CAD"
