I'm trying to setup deployments for our office, but I can't see where the option for setting up the default template path? I can see you can customize content, and file locations but I can't see where to set the new template that gets used when you go file > new ?

Can't this be done in the deployment anymore?

I'm in the same boat... maybe I'm missing something but none of the paths I specified in the Deploy creation turned out correctly once the program was installed. I have two screenshots attached (Deploy Setup and Post Deploy Install) to show the discrepancies...

Any ini files that can be edited or anything?

Not quite, but Autodesk answered my question on their forums:

Turns out you cant set the default template file in the deployment anymore :/ looks like I'll be writing a utility that edits the revit.ini file then

I started another Thread here on AUGI about this topic and other issues with the deployment settings...

The Support Person that has been helping me has seen the ridiculousness of this situation and is having dialog with the developers to see if this is something that can get a hotfix
