mapping). Using these options helps improve performance when these files
are loaded.
Using the Files tab of the Options dialog box, you can also specify the location
of temporary files. Temporary files are created on disk, and then deleted when
you exit the program. The temporary folder is set to the location that Microsoft
Windows uses. If you plan to run this program from a write-protected folder
(for example, if you work on a network or open files on a CD), specify a
different location for your temporary files.
The temporary folder that you specify must not be write-protected, and the
drive containing the folder should have sufficient disk space for the temporary
files. It is recommended that you manually delete the files from this folder
on a regular basis to ensure sufficient space is provided for temporary files. If
not enough space is available for temporary files, you may experience errors
or instability in the program.
If you want to use a file that contains custom interface elements, specify it in
the Customizations Files item on the Files tab of the Options dialog box. The
default customization file is acad.cuix.
