Preventing Publisher from creating new folders

jakubc7 — Tue, 30 May 2023 11:42:28 GMT

I would like to prevent Archicad from creating new folders on my computer. I tend to publish all my PDFs to a designated folder and move them as needed.

The reasoning:
- sometimes I work on other people's files and accidently create an entire folder structure when publishing
- I am changing my own folder structure and don't want to create new folders by accident when working with current / old PLNs

Is there an option in Work Environment that I haven't come across or permissions in Windows I can tweak? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!

Not that I am aware of.
You have to reset the publisher path, as it is saved with the file.

Thanks for the reply Berry. Thought that may be the case ... although it's not a big deal.
