You never know when something might go wrong and have to go back to an earlier version of a file. Tip: Always backup your custom files prior to making changes to them. By placing the custom files with changes into a different folder, it not only makes the files easier to share with others, but it also simplifies the upgrade to a new release or re-installation of your current release.
No matter if you decide to share your custom files or not, I recommend making a copy and placing any custom files that you plan on editing in a folder outside of the folders created during the installation of the AutoCAD product. Architecture, Engineering and ConstructionĪs I previously mentioned, custom files are stored by default locally on your workstation, but that doesn’t work well when trying to share files with others whether they are located in a centralized office or across different geographic locations.
