    Question Easy way to set-up Support File Search Paths

    I don't know if this was ever asked or not, but I'm going find out, I suppose. I'm adding several new folders to AutoCAD's Support File Search Path. I can only select one at a time. Is there anyway I can set AutoCAD to remember the last place I was at, similar to 'Open' and 'Save', instead of having to go back to the root (C directory and starting all over again?

    I did try REMEMBERFOLDERS, it is set to 1 and has no effect.

    Not that I know of.

    Are you doing this for one machine or several?

    One machine shouldn't take too long. Any more than that and you can automate this task in a variety of ways.

    I have to do it on about a dozen machines. I don't know much about automating something like this, I'm not a programmer by any sense of the means.

    If you can copy and paste code, take a look at this thread:
    http://discussion.autodesk.com/threa...sageID=4982432

    If you are not sure what to do with lisp code, take a look at:
    http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2942

    If you have a centrally located, common "acad.lsp" that each machine reads at startup, just include that code in there. Then, the support file search paths will be reset each time AutoCAD starts, eliminating a lot of problems. Here is how to do that:

    Good luck.
