Question:

How can I permanently change the path settings presented for selection in specific tools (save, import)?

Answer:

When you save, import and export elements or files, Allplan automatically proposes a specific folder where
the data is saved or taken from.
You can specify which Allplan file type is saved in which folder. These folders are automatically presented in
the "Save" dialog box of the relevant file type. However, you can change them at any time.

To set this proposed folder on an individual basis, do the following:

Select the Tools menu ->Options... -> Desktop environment(Allplan 2009 and earlier: Tools -> Options...
-> Global Options-> "Settings"tab).

You can click thePAah setting sbutton to the right of Folders for savingto define defaults. You can choose
Project, Private, Custom or Last for the path setting:

• Project: the file type is saved in the current project (not available for NDW and NPL files).
• Private: the file type is saved in the user's private project.
• Custom: you can specify any folder for the file type. To select the folder, click the path displayed in the
Folder column and enter a new path or click ... in the Browse column and select the path in a dialog box.
• Last: the file type is saved in the path you selected last.
