SurvCadd 2006-Set Data Directory

[Surveyor]

I have an AutoCad drawing that when opened will not remember the data
directory or the default coordinate file.

I go to "FILE>PROJECT>SET DATA DIRECTORY", browse to the correct folder and
click "OK", I save the drawing and exit. When the drawing is re-opened it
does not save this setting. Also when I set the coordinate file, and save,
exit, then re-open, the coordinate file is set to "NONE"

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to have a project, even though I only have
1 drawing? The only file attached to this drawing under "DRAWING MANAGER" is
this coordinate file.

I'll check tomorrow at work, but I believe you have to have the save to INI
file checked. That's where it stores information about coordinate file.

Under the "General settings" I do have "save ini." checked. I will try to
delete that .ini file and see if that helps. That file is only a text file,
so I don't see how it could get corrupt. JRL
