Multiple Drawing Folders
Keeping your drawing and other associated files in separate directories makes
it easier to perform basic file maintenance.
Keeping your drawing files and other associated files in separate directories
makes it easier to perform basic file maintenance. The scenario described in
this topic is based on the sample directory structure described in
Overview of
File Organization
on page 3, but you can expand or alter it to meet your
needs.
You can set up the /AcadJobs directory to contain your drawing subdirectories.
The drawing subdirectories can contain other subdirectories that hold related
support files for a particular drawing type or job. The /AcadJobs/Job1/Support
directory can contain blocks and AutoLISP files specific to the drawing files
in /AcadJobs/Job1. Specifying support (with no path prefix) in the Support path
adds the support directory within the current directory to the Support path.
Notice that if you use the Application Preferences dialog box to specify a
directory, AutoCAD for Mac creates a hard-coded path to that directory. To use
the relative naming convention previously described, you must specify the
Support path with the /s switch on the command line. See Customize Startup
in the User's Guide.
