Specify one of 3 configurable folder modes for your content:
■ Default Mode: Default content files are installed on your computer in
the default location in the ProgramData folder. When you uninstall the
program, default content files are also uninstalled.
■ Local Mode: Local content files are installed on your computer in
non-standard locations. You can install a content group to a location other
than the default folder. When you uninstall the program, local content
files are also uninstalled.
■ Shared Mode: Shared content files are installed where they can be shared
among multiple computers, enabling multiple users to access the same
copy of AutoCAD Architecture content. If you specify the same location
for a subsequent installation, you will be prompted to overwrite the existing
shared content files. When you uninstall the program, shared content files
are not uninstalled.
If you create a deployment with shared content, the content files are written
to the shared locations when the deployment is created. In addition,
content for all Content Packs has been written to the shared locations.
This ensures that content is present for workstations that may at a later
date elect to install additional Content Packs.
Append Click the Append button to add a default folder name to a content
group's path.
