Specify Search Paths and File Locations
You can set the search path to drawing support files such as text fonts,
drawings, linetypes, and hatch patterns. You also can specify the location of
temporary files, which is important when working in a network environment.
The Files tab (Options dialog box) is where you set the search path that is used
by the program to find drawing support files such as text fonts, drawings,
linetypes, and hatch patterns. The MYDOCUMENTSPREFIX system variable
stores the location of the My Documents folder for the current user.
The working search path for drawing support files lists paths that are valid
and exist in the current system folder structure (including system network
mapping). Using these options helps improve performance when these files
are loaded.
Using the Files tab (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 the
operating system 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
