#Switch to the project folder and start AutoCAD
function startACAD() {
cd /AcadJobs/Jobs/$prj
echo "Starting AutoCAD"
"/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD

}
#Clear Terminal and check for the existence of the folder
clear
cd .
if [ -d /AcadJobs/Jobs/$prj ]
then
startACAD
fi
#Prompt to create folder
echo .
