I have a Civil 3D project with multiple parcels, inverses of which I need to title separately and export to a particular file. When I create each analysis and am asked to specify the export file name, the program automatically defaults to the computers accursed "My Documents" folder, rather than to the folder to which I need to export the inverse. Then I must of course laboriously navigate to the actual target fifolder.
I should note here that REMEMBERFOLDERS is set to 1.
Seems to me that once I've exported the first inverse to the desired file, exporting the subsequent twenty-five or so inverses to the same target folder should be pretty much automatic, no? Yet each time, BOOM! "My Documents" is the opened folder.
How do I remedy this problem such that specification of the next inverse opens the target folder rather than "My Documents"? Seems as if it should be fairly simple.
Thanks for the help.

I don't know how to remember the correct folder. I use this feature, but not enough to say how to make it behave like you want. I'd let them all go to My Documents then use Windows to move them all at once at the end. Better yet, I would do all 25 parcels in one text file then copy paste to create a separate file for each so you don't have 25 files to export from C3D.
It works correctly in 2018. What version are you using?
If you can't get around it, put the correct folder in your Places. On the Export dialog, go to Tools, then Add current folder to Places. This will put a one-button shortcut in the sidebar of the dialog. It's better than browsing...
Oh, well, I guess the "Places" solution is the only one available, cumbersome though it be. However, this means that each time I must export more than one or two inverse analyses, I must create a new "place," and then of course remove said "place" when the task is done lest I experience a metastasis of "places." I had hoped that some simple setting would permit such a sophisticated program to at least remember the location to which I'd saved an export just a few seconds before, as most programs do. Silly me.
Thanks for the help.
