The Content folder for AutoCAD® Plant 3D will be installed by default on your C: drive. The Content folder you be modified when installing AutoCAD® Plant 3D already.
Having the Content folder on your network drive has several advantages. Firstly the network folder will be probably backed-up frequently. Secondly, multiple users can now access the content to manage the content and create new specs.
If you want to change the content folder after the installation you just need to type in the Command: PLANTMODIFYSHAREDCONTENTFOLDER
The following dialog shows up allowing you to change the content folder.
If you copied your content folder to the new location yourself you just need to change the Shared Content Folder.
If you didn’t copy the Content folder you just need to check the box below the path and AutoCAD® Plant 3D takes care of that as well.
It is recommended that you “remove” your local Content folder so there will be no confusion about which Content folder is the current one. “Removing” of course can be renaming as well. Or just zip the Content folder.
You can change the Content folder in the Spec Editor as well. The dialog is the same as within AutoCAD® Plant 3D.
