I think he meant one of the AutoCAD preference paths - from the Options dialog box.

I believe that was this, right?

And you can build a scr file REALLY fast by going to that folder in a DOS prompt, and typing in
Quote
Dir *.dwg /b /s > MT.scr
where MT.scr is name of scr file (any name works)  Note the spaces in the typing.  Then open notepad and Search/Replace the drive letter with open and drive letter, then .dwg with .dwg and rest of scr.  Save and run

Quote
example S/R
find u:\
replace w\  Open u:\

find .dwg
replace w\   .dwg" (command "-vbarun" "Mario") qsave close


I need to add the initials: KAHN!!!!

sorry needed a star trek reference today..

Not a problem.  Thats what we are here for.  Glad it worked out so you could start your weekend on time.
