The Options of AutoCAD 2010 – The Files Tab – Part 8

[1]

Color Book Locations

Specifies the path for color book files that can be used when specifying colors in the Select Color dialog box. You can define multiple folders for each path specified. This option is saved with the user profile.  This is typically way past standard use for CAD.   Most users will never touch this setting.

This has been added since 2002 and the addition of pantone colors and such.

Data Sources Location

Specifies the path for database source files. Changes to this setting do not take effect until you close and restart the program.

Template Settings

Specifies the drawing template settings.

Drawing Template File Location
Specifies the path to locate drawing template files used by the Start Up wizard and New dialog box.  Leave this as is.

Sheet Set Template File Location
Specifies the path to locate sheet set template files used by the Create Sheet Set wizard. Leave this as is.

Default Template File Name for QNEW
Specifies the drawing template file used by the QNEW command.  Change this to a location that you may use for your standard Template.

Sick of dialog boxes popping up when you want a new dwg file? Then set this variable to the file you want to use as a template and use QNEW. Be sure to set Startup to “0” so the dialog box does not come up.

Default Template for Sheet Creation and Page Setup Overrides
Specifies the default template file that is used for creating new sheets and to store page setup overrides that can be applied to Publish operations from the Sheet Set Manager.  Change this to a location that you may use for your standard Template.
