    Default Open / Save As... Dialogue Box, Places List?

    Hi All,

    So within Revit, the File / Open and Save As... folders have a "Places List" on the left hand edge of the window. I know how I can manually update this list. But the goal is, I want to be able to standardize this list (at least initially) for all users in the office.

    After, I manually make changes, the application asks me if I want to save my "Places List." Where does Revit store the "Places List?"

    The Revit.ini file seems to contain some of this info. I can add new places locations to the .ini file. However, when we copy the .ini file to our user's machines, then their work station retains their old Places as well.

    Sometimes, I want them to stay. However, sometimes I want to clear them out... like when I move the location of office custom components, for example.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Bryan

    Default Re: Open / Save As... Dialogue Box, Places List?

    They are stored in the registry now, which can be found here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Revit\Revit Architecture 2009\Profiles\AllAnavDialogs

    You could have a .reg file that runs on logon, personally I have an AutoHotKey script that sets it up initially and then leaves it alone so users can add their own
