A working folder location is defined by default, so you can begin working with a vault immediately. The default working folder
is:
- My Documents\Vault.
- C:\Civil 3D Projects.
The default working folder location can be changed by a user to a custom location. The vault administrator can also enforce
a standard location, ensuring that all users have the same working folder defined.
The enforced working folder path can be:
- a network path: \\designco\users\jstewart
- a local path: C:\users\bkeaton
- a path containing a system variable for a directory: \\designco\users\%username%
- a path beginning with 'My Documents': My Documents\Vault
When the working folder is enforced, any previous working folder settings are replaced with the new path. If a user has changed
the default location, a message is displayed indicating that the vault administrator has enforced the working folder location
the next time the user logs into the vault.
If an enforced working folder location cannot be applied to user settings, the previous user-defined location is used. If
there is no previous user-defined location, MyDocuments\Vault is used.
