Hi all.
I created a basic personal dwt file for opening a new drawing with, but Draftsight won't let me save it in the template file. gives " you don't have permission to save in this location". Contact administrator to obtain permission.
I am the admin.
What do I do?
Cheers.
Andy.
Hi.
What I mean is it won't let me save it to the dwt file location where all the Draftsight templates are.
OK, not sure.
I assume that you already checked to make sure that you had write access to the location?
Outside of that, I am out of guesses.
add a new location where it is looking for templates
Yes David, I did that but I just want to know why the official area is being blocked.
to keep a template from being over written there are defaults that you do not want to change that may be needed by the program to run properly. that could be one reason. After all it is draft sight....I had all kinds of fun getting it to run back in the day when it was free. Not sure if it is still free..
My version is the free one, not complaining, just hate it when things are blocked for no apparent reason.
OK, so a little clarification is needed:
dwt IS the template file for draftsight, so I don't understand when you say:
You should just be able to save the dwt to a known location, and when you click on New in DraftSight, go and find it, and specify that template.
Is this what you are doing?
(Disclaimer, I don't use Draftsight, this is just me picking up things from a little light reading).
