Define Search Paths and File Locations (optional)
 
 
 

On the Define Search Paths and File Locations page, you can modify the default search paths and the location of some program files. You might want to modify the default settings for the following reasons:

  • If your CAD environment uses a file (such as a customization file or plug-ins) other than the default file that's installed with the program, you can point to that file now and avoid having to add it at each workstation.
  • Some default file locations may have changed in this version of the program. You can use this page if you have an earlier version of the program, and you want to move the files to the same file location as your earlier version of the program.
NoteYou can also modify the search paths and file locations for individual workstations after you have installed the program. You do this by using the Options dialog box. For more information, see Specify Search Paths and File Locations in the User's Guide.
