What's the folder UserDataCache for?

    On my computer it is
    c:\Program Files\ADT 2004\UserDataCache

    I notice that on my computer, this directory,
    has a subdirectory with plot styles. Is this just a temp
    directory? What's it for? Is anyone creating files
    in this directory? Do the plot styles get copied
    automatically? If so, why can't AutoCAD find
    these files when the program is reinstalled?

    Thanks

    That folder is used during an install to copy the files to the user's
    profile.

    I wonder if the options issue isn't with ADT. I don't remember it being a
    problem with vanilla 2005.

    Thanks Robert,

    Its also the default startup directory for autocad
    as specified in the desktop icons to launch autocad
    and I'm wondering why.

    What's magical about that directory? The save
    command opens to the "MyDocuments" directory
    anyhow.

    Regards,
    Doug
