    Default Support Search Paths

    Does anyone know if search path enteries support %Username% so the path can read

    C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2009\R17.2\enu\support

    Many thanks!

    Where would you use that?
    AutoCAD automatically maps each user to his/her proper appdata location.

    A quick test should confirm that it does work.
    I would use %appdata%, instead of plugging in a user name, since there is no guarantee that the proper path is "C:\Documents and Settings....."
