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.
To make sure that the required drawing directory is the current directory when
you start AutoCAD, and that all files and subdirectories in that directory are
easily accessible, you can create a program icon or a Start menu item that
specifies the correct working directory for each job. This functionality works
only if you set the AutoCAD system variable REMEMBERFOLDERS to 0.
You can use a batch program to create new job directories automatically. The
following batch program verifies that a specified directory exists, sets that
directory to be current, and then runs AutoCAD.
#!/bin/sh
prj="$1"
#Switch to the project folder and start AutoCAD
function startACAD() {
cd /AcadJobs/Jobs/$prj
echo "Starting AutoCAD"
"/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2013/AutoCAD
2013.app/Contents/MacOS/AutoCAD 2013"
}
#Clear Terminal and check for the existence of the folder
clear
cd .
if [ -d /AcadJobs/Jobs/$prj ]

startACAD
