Template Folder Path

Is there a way to access the templates folder path?

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2018\R22.0\enu\Template\acadiso.dwt

Hi,

You have to use the Preferences COM object (see this topic).

To avoid referncing the COM libraries, you can use late binding with dynamic type (C#) or Object (VB).

dynamic preferences = Application.Preferences; string templatePath = preferences.Files.TemplateDWGPath;

Dim preferences As Object = Application.Preferences Dim templatePath As String = preferences.Files.TemplateDWGPath

Thank you. 🙂 One of these day's I'm going to commit to switching. The translating is starting to get annoying.
