Libs

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

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

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! :)
