User Preferences
The User Preferences control three main aspects of the program.
File Paths
You can control file paths that include the path for storing menu
palettes, prototypes, setup files, and speed tables, among others. To
use these items, you must store them in the locations specified in the
File Locations settings. For example, to use a speed table to calculate a
spiral, the speed tables must be located in the path that you specify for
speed tables.
NOTE When you install AutoCAD Land Development Desktop, these
paths are set up automatically. You need to change these paths
only if you move any items, such as drawing setup files, to a
different folder.
AutoCAD Overrides
If you want to use the basic AutoCAD Startup, New, and Open
commands, instead of AutoCAD Land Development Desktop
commands, then you can change the AutoCAD override settings.
