    Thumbs up Mysterious Files Appearing

    I currently have .dwg files appearing on a network drive out of the blue.
    The file names all start with "A$C....", and appear to all be block files.
    In addition, I have .scr files starting with "atmp....." appearing int he same location.


    I know which user's machine is creating the files (new employee), but my question is:
    How are they getting there, and which file location setting do I need to look into on that machine to eliminate them being added to the network location?

    Thanks in Advance!

    Default Re: Mysterious Files Appearing

    They are autosave files. Check the user's AutoCAD Options>Files tab>Automatic Save File Location . The default is C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\
