Changing the Paths/Files options

You can specify locations for various file types such as those used for drawings, fonts, and menus in the Options dialog box on the Paths/Files tab. You can even specify multiple paths for the same file type. In addition, you can change the names of the default system files that are used for functions like font mapping and error logging.

You can enter paths for your IntelliCAD directories by typing them into a Location field in the Options dialog box. This feature includes directories for drawings, fonts, help, external references, menus, hatch patterns, blocks, temporary files, and templates. If you don't know the location, use the Browse button.

You can enter multiple paths for each item. If, for example, the Auto Save Drawing Extension has more than one directory associated with it, you can specify multiple paths by separating them with a semicolon. IntelliCAD searches the directories in the order in which they are listed.

To set up a user path

1. Do one of the following:
• Choose Tools > Options.
• Type config and then press Enter.
2. Click the Paths/Files tab.
3. Under Location, click the item in the User Paths list whose path you want to specify, and type the path.

If you do not know the path or directory name, click Browse, and then browse to the location of the directory you want.

4. When you have finished, click OK.
