What are the default search paths and file location settings?

On the Select Installation Folders for Support Content page of the deployment wizard, you can choose where your support content gets installed by specifying a folder other than the user profile folder. Support files include drivers, menus, and optional, user-defined settings such as dictionary and customization files.

When an install path for support content is specified, it will be populated into the corresponding search paths on the Define Search Paths and File Locations page.

Support File Search Path	Specifies the folders in which the program should look for text fonts, customization files, plug-ins, drawings to insert, linetypes, and hatch patterns that are not in the current folder.
Customization Files	Specifies the names and locations of various types of files. Main Customization File: Specifies the default location of the main customization file (acad.cui). Enterprise Customization File: Specifies the location of an enterprise customization file. Custom Icon Location: Specifies the location for custom icons used in customization files.
Dictionary and Font Files	Specifies a number of optional settings. Custom Dictionary File: Specifies a custom dictionary to use (if you have one). Alternate Font File: Specifies the location of the font file to use if the original font cannot be located and an alternate font is not specified in the font mapping file. Font Mapping File: Specifies the location of the file that defines how to convert fonts that cannot be found.
Printer Support File Path	Specifies search path settings for printer support files. Printer Configuration Search Path: Specifies the path for printer configuration files (PC3 files).

Automatic Save File Location	Specifies the path for the file created when you select Automatic Save on the Open and Save tab.
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.
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.

The folder you specify must not be write-protected.
