| The directory where your menus, hatch patterns, defaults and line types are stored is called your User Home directory. Each user can have his or her User Home directory. See Multiple Users later in this chapter. The User Home directory contains the following files: • CAD.MEN This defines the menu structure, icon functions and accelerator keys in the CAD. • HATCH.PAT This contains hatch pattern definitions. • STARTUP.DRG This is a drawing that contains your drawing defaults. It is loaded each time you start the CAD or start a new drawing. • CAD.INI This stores defaults relating to printing, DXF and DWG transfers, digitizer setup, colours etc. • DOM.TXT The Drawing Office Manager data file. This is updated if you have specified you want to use the Drawing Office Manager (see Save Settings in the Reference Manual). • CAD.LOG If activated this logs everything you do during a CAD session. See CAD.INI. • COMPASS.DRG This is a compass that you can automatically insert on your drawing when you print using Zoom Print in the File Menu. There is also a compass called COMPASSN.DRG. COMPASSN is a more elaborate compass. If you want to use COMPASSN instead of COMPASS, rename COMPASSN.DRG to COMPASS.DRG. It also contains the MACRO sub-directory where the line type definitions are stored in the LINETYPE.MAC file. Do not delete this file. |
