Re: change auto-save directory settings ?

I believe the backup file goes into the path specified for METMPDIR. The default is the Windows temporary folder but you can change it in several ways.
  • Edit the me10.ini file under the main Drafing install folder and add the path to the METMPDIR= line. For the Classic UI you must edit the me10.ini file under the old_ui subfolder.
  • Use the -tmpdir path option in the command or shortcut that starts Drafting. If path has spaces it needs to be enclosed in double quotes (see the file Appendix.htm under main Drafting install folder for more details)
  • Create a Windows environment variable named METMPDIR with the path as the value.
