Drive Alias Administration dialog box
AutoCAD Map 3D creates a drive alias for drive C. You must create drive aliases
for all other drives that you use.
To create a drive alias (page 161)
Click Home tab ➤ Data panel ➤ ➤ Define Drawing Set.
NOTE This option is for attached drawings only. For information about connecting
to geospatial feature data, see
Overview of Bringing In GIS Features (page 305).
Drive aliases are useful as typing shortcuts or as a reminder of what drawings
are contained in the directory. In addition, they make it easy for multiple
users to share drawings.
The alias you assign appears in the Drive list whenever you select drawings.
To modify an existing drive alias, select it in the list, enter a new Actual Path,
and click Update.
To create a new drive alias, enter a new Drive Alias, enter an Actual Path, and
click Add.
Drive List
View aliases you created.
Drive Alias box
Enter the alias to use.
The name must be unique, use only alphanumeric characters (including
hyphen and underscore), contain no spaces or colons, and start with a
character.
Actual Path box
Enter the path, including drive or server name and directories.
If you are not sure of the drive or directory, click Browse.
Xrefs and raster objects use their assigned paths and are not affected by drive
aliases.
