Electroman7979 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hello All, Does anyone know how to edit the .env file so that when I create a symbol, the lib is already directed and I don't have to browse for it everytime? This is whats in there now: WD_LIB,%SL_DIR%/jic125;%SL_DIR%/pneu_iso125;%SL_DIR%/pid;%SL_DIR%/hyd_iso125 Maybe thats not my problem, how do I define the "%SL_DIR%" in the .env to be: O:\Monument\Everyone\ACAD_E\Shared Files\Libs Thanks for the input -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFish Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 In the area where it says "Symbol Insertion and Library Paths" There will be lines that begin with "WD_". The one that you will be looking for is "WD_INSCOMPDLG". On your .env file there will be a * before it, you will need to remove that. Then after WD_INSCOMPDLG you place a comma then continue inserting the file directory you wish it to go to every time you browse for a symbol... and here is an example of how mine is... WD_INSCOMPDLG,"G:\Automation\Drawing Patterns\AutoCAD STD\Library\Circuit Components\",to override starting path for INS SCHEM COMP browse button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFish Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Also something I forgot to mention is that you may have to restart AutoCAD after you have made your changes... I know I had to when I did it. Anyway, I hope this works for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
