Is there a list of environmental variables that are used to map the files in the options dialog.
Such as: "PrinterStyleSheetDir" Plot Style Table Directory
"PrinterDescDir" Plotter Directory
"PrinterConfigDir" Driver Directory for pc3 files.
"ACAD" AutoCAD defualts

In particular, I'm looking for the Sheet Set Template File Location, but it would be helpful to know where to find them for future reference.

Thanks,

Jason

Thanks. That's one big list. I'd think that the Sheet Set Template File Location would be under SS....

Does anyone know the variable I'm looking for?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi

Within the AutoCAD Environment Variable PDF search for "Sheet", you will then find what you want.

Now I'm searching for the variable name for Tool Palettes File Locations. I can't find anything on this one. Can someone tell me the name for this variable?

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,

Go into OPTIONS and look at the FILES tab,
then way down near the bottom you will see a folder
named TOOL PALETTES FILES LOCATIONS

Hi

For that you need to look at the AutoCAD system variables -

(getvar "*_ToolPalettePath")
