Under the Configurable Folders section of the installation wizard, you can specify custom locations for folders with specific content. Content folders are divided into two groups: Support and Survey.
To access the Configurable Folders section of the installation wizard, under Autodesk Civil 3D 2021, click Click to Open and Configure and scroll down to the Configurable Folders section.
The Support content folder group includes the following folders:
| Folder name | Description |
|---|---|
| Projects Working Folder | The default working folder for projects. |
| Data Folder | Contains items such as preview drawings, quantities reports style sheets, and layer and corridor standards. |
| Content Root | Contains items such as support files for corridor models and pipe networks. |
The Survey content folder group includes the following folders:
| Folder name | Description |
|---|---|
| Survey Equipment Database Directory | For survey equipment database files. |
| Survey Figure Database Directory | For survey figure prefix database files. |
| Survey Database Settings Directory | For SDB_SET files containing settings for the creation of new survey databases. |
| Survey Extended Property Definitions Directory | For SDX_DEF (extended properties schema) files, as well as LandXML and user-defined extended property schema files. |
| Survey Linework Code Sets Directory | For user-defined linework coding definitions. |
Specify one of the following configurable folder modes for your content
Default content files are installed in the Program Data folder. When you uninstall the program, default content files are also uninstalled.
Local content files are installed in non-standard locations. You can install a content group to a location other than the default folder. When you uninstall the program, local content files are also uninstalled.
Shared content files are installed in a shared location, enabling multiple users to access the same copy of Autodesk Civil 3D content. If you specify the same location for a subsequent installation, you will be prompted to overwrite the existing shared content files. When you uninstall the program, shared content files are not uninstalled.
