    Default Default drawing location

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hello!

    Can I, and if so, how to change the default drawing save location?

    When I make a new drawing and wish to save it for the first time it automatically opens the My Documents folder, but I would like to open some different folder.

    When I edit existing drawing and wish to save it with another name, then it opens the folder in which the existing drawing is located - that is ok with me.

    So, the point is just for the location of new drawing.

    Edit: I am using Autodesk Map 3D with Raster Design 2007

    Thanks

    Default

    You can configure AutoCAD to always use a specified path by changing the default drawing folder using the REMEMBERFOLDERS system variable.
