Robertpse Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hi All Just a quick question. When I do a new drawing from scratch and I want to save it, the location for the saved drawing is always shown as `My Documents`. How do I change the default location of where my new drawings are saved to ie Desktop ? Many Thanks Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder76 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 When you save a drawing to a certain location ACAD remembers it; then, the next time you save a drawing it goes back to the last location that you saved a drawing to. At least I think that's right. I'm not sure about a hard written default that drawings always get saved to except for Autosave location.

Robertpse Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks Ryder. I noticed already saved drawings when modified etc go to the location that they were originally saved to. The pain in the backside for me is that any new drawing I do is automatically saved (by deault I presume) to my documents. I want to set the default to save to say Desk Top but cant seem to find where I change this. Thanks Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hughes Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 How are you starting up AutoCAD? Not sure if this will work but if you start up acad from a shortcut see if changing the "start in" under properties of the shortcut helps. Or if you are starting from the Start menu again locate the actual shortcut and modify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
