Saving is X17

[kflorjancic]

Prior to downloading X17, I typically saved all of my files to a folder on my desktop and then moved them to OneDrive once the project was complete. Since installing X17, I’m having trouble figuring out where my files are actually being saved. It looks like everything is going into the Archives folder, which has me a bit confused.

 

Does anyone know:

• Where X17 saves files by default?
• If it’s possible to change the default save location to a custom “Chief” folder that houses all of my plans?
• And if saving directly to OneDrive (or a synced folder) would cause any performance issues?

 

Ideally, I’d love to streamline things so I can easily access and transfer the most current plans without digging through Archives.

 

Any tips, tricks, or tutorials would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I am having the same issue, when I travel, I use a different computer.  I signed on this morning to work on some projects and none of my projects are in the new system on this computer.  I am not sure where to access them.  I have been using CA for 20 years and I will admit, I am not up to date on this new system.
