Enables you to specify the folders where TurboCAD places several types of program files.


  
Templates (.tct)* - Files in which you save settings as well as block libraries, symbol libraries, and scripts, that you can use to start a new drawing.

Backups (.bak)* - Backups that are created if you check Make Backup Copies option in the General page.

AutoSave Files (.asv)* - Files that are saved automatically, if this option is turned on in the General page. These files allow you to restore work after a system crash.

Symbol Library Files (.slw)* - Sets of related symbols, saved to one common *.slw file, or a set of drawing files saved to a specified folder.

Drawings (.tcw)* - Drawings and models you create in TurboCAD.

Publish to HTML Files - Files created using File / Publish to HTML.

Print Styles: See Print Style Options.

Shapes (.shx):* Shape files (*.shx) used in the creating of line styles. (This is not the same as *.shx font files.) See Line Styles.

Tip: If you have two disk drives (or access to a network drive), it is wise to have your backup files automatically saved to a second drive.
