System Options

The Options dialog box contains System Options and Document Properties. System options apply to the software environment rather than to specific documents.

For Document Properties, which apply only to the active document and are often saved in document templates, see the Creating a Custom Part Template lesson.

  1. Click Options (Standard toolbar).
  2. On the System Options tab, select File Locations.

  5. Browse to Documents, right-click in the dialog box, select New > Folder, enter Sheet Formats, then click OK.
  6. If a prompt asks whether to change the search paths, click Yes.
  7. Under Folders, select the new entry and click Move Up.
    The application searches the folders in list order. Click Reset to restore factory defaults for all system options or only for options on this page. Added file locations are deleted from the list; however, folders are not deleted from the computer.
