Drawing Template File Location

[mordend]

Does anyone know how to access the "Drawing Template File Location" path from options?

I assume its through Application.GetSystemVariable() like the Support file search paths, but I don't know what the system variable name is?

Or is there a way to view a list of the system variable names available to Application.GetSystemVariable()?

Hi,

You can get or set the templates folder via the Application.Preferences COM object.

dynamic preferences = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.Preferences;
string templatePath = preferences.Files.TemplateDWGPath;

or just get it via the TemplatePath environment variable

string templatePath = HostApplicationServices.Current.GetEnvironmentVariable("TemplatePath");

string templatePath = HostApplicationServices.Current.GetEnvironmentVariable("TemplatePath");

Works for me, thank you sir.
