ksperopoulos Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I was wondering...if I have a list of subfolders in a single location, can I load ONLY the root folder into AutoCad's support file search path? Will this include all the subfolders when AutoCad is looking for particular files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 No, AutoCAD will not search subdirectories (unless something has changed without my knowledge in recent version updates). Every directory needs to be path'ed. You shouldn't have more than a handful at most so if you do in fact have an extensive amount of directories, or sub-directories, it's best to reconsider your folder conventions with the files you're using.

BlackBox Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Styk is correct that AutoCAD will not search sub-directories by default... But _you_ can by including the sub-directory name as a prefix via the FINDFILE function. Consider you have a directory, named Parent that has been added to your SFSP. Within the Parent folder, is a Child folder (sub-directory), that contains a file named Foo.bar... So long as \\Parent has been included in SFSP, this will find the desired file path: (findfile "[color=red]Child[/color]\\[color=blue]Foo.bar[/color]") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
