    Default figure prefix database

    I've created a couple bogus figure prefix database and linework code sets for practice.
    I now want to delete them, but I can't find any place that gives me the option for deleting.
    anyone know if this is possible and how do i go about deleting them.

    thanks.

    sorry about that, I misread your post.
    to delete it, go to the folder on your network/computer where it is saved and delete it. The default location is:
    C:\programdata\autodesk\c3d ####\enu\survey\

    I have a File Explorer drop-down macro for that
    Code:
    ^C^C^P(startapp "explorer" (strcat "/n,/e, C:" (chr 92) "ProgramData" (chr 92) "Autodesk" (chr 92) "C3D" (substr(vla-get-Caption (vlax-get-acad-object))(vl-string-position(ascii "2")(vla-get-Caption (vlax-get-acad-object)))5) (chr 92) "enu" (chr 92) "Survey"))(princ)
    Should work for any Civil 3D or Windows version.

    It's an obsession, whenever I have free time I modify my two Ribbon tabs.

    It just opens the Survey folder which holds all the Equipment Prefix Databases, Figure Prefix Databases, Linework Code Sets, and other files.

    That drop-down menu gives me quick access to all the folders I use for AutoCAD like where our field crew saves their files.
