Location of Plot Styles folder

Published date: 2009-Mar-24
ID: TS1103887

Applies to:
AutoCAD® 2010

Issue

You want to know where the Plot Styles folder is located in AutoCAD® 2010.

Solution

The Deployment wizard in AutoCAD 2010 now provides greater control over where your support content is installed by allowing you to specify locations other than the default user profile folder used in previous releases.

As part of this new functionality, the path for the Plot Styles folder has been moved from a sibling level of the Plotters folder to a subdirectory in the Plotters folder. 

For example, in AutoCAD 2009, the Plot Styles folder was located here:

Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2009\R17.2\enu\Plot Styles

Windows Vista:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2009\R18\enu\Plot Styles 

In AutoCAD 2010, the Plot Styles folder is now located here: 

Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2010\R18.0\enu\Plotters\Plot Styles

Windows Vista:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2010\R18.0\enu\Plotters\Plot Styles
