Locate Customized Files
AutoCAD for Mac supports a wide range of files that can be customized. The
program stores files that can be customized by user profile, as well as allow
you to add your own customized file locations. The following locations are
defined by the program:
Local profiles. Local profiles are used to log on a computer and they store
settings and files that are not available when roaming. Some files, such as
materials and drawing templates are stored under your local profile because
of their size, they do not follow you from computer to computer.
Roaming profiles. Roaming profiles allow you to log on to any computer
within a network and retain your user settings. Some files, such as your
personal settings and documents, follow you from computer to computer.
If roaming profiles are allowed on your network, your roamable files are
located in the <user>/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/Roaming/<Product
Version> folder, and your nonroamable files are located in the
<user>/Application Support/Autodesk/Local/<Product Version> folder.
