Title: Custom Dictionaries.
Post by: Bryco on April 29, 2009, 01:45:19 PM

Does anyone use and install the same custom dictionary on each machine?
Since brand names and abbreviations are often job specific, I was thinking it would be a smart move, however the acad 2010 sample.cus file uses a different format than the previous files. Is that a problem?

Yes and no.  We use the same custom dictionary on each machine but it's located on the server, not on each machine.

How do you map to the server Matt?

We haven't made the leap to AutoCAD 2009/10 yet so I guess I can't help you anymore.   :|  Sorry.

I have placed the custom spelling dictionary (just to make sure we are talking about the same thing) in the user "my documents" folder.  SO I just map to it for each upgrade.  I just did that for 2010 and had no problems so far but I have only upgraded myself.

Yes it appears that it works fine without the funny zeroes. Thanks Matt and Krushert
