Does anyone know if you can change the default folder location for plan set templates?
I checked options>setup options>folder locations but didn't see if an option for PSTs.
Reason for doing this: we're trying to standardize templates, details, etc. across the studio.
Well, I figured out the easiest way to do this using the "symbolic link" tool in windows command prompt.
For those wondering how to make this work with dropbox or whichever cloud sync utility:
I'll use the Plan Set Templates (PST) folder and dropbox for this example.
1. Copy your PST folder to your dropbox within file explorer
2. Scary part: delete the PST folder in C:\softplan
3. Open CMD (run as admin) and type this:
mklink /d "c:\softplan\plan set templates"
4. copy the full file path of the PST folder in dropbox
5. add a single space after what you typed in step 3 and paste the file path
6. hit enter, you should receive a message "symbolic link created for ...."
It should look something like this:
mklink /d "C:\SoftPlan\Plan Set Templates" "C:\Users\username\Your Dropbox\STUDIO - STANDARDS\SOFTPLAN LIBRARY\Plan Set Templates"
Note: you MUST use quotation marks around the file paths
Check your c:\softplan, there's now a PST folder with a little "shortcut" symbol on it.
Open a project in softplan and check to make sure it worked.
I did this and it was absolutely seamless, just make sure to have your sync software set to autosync for that folder so everyone on your team stays updated on the latest files.
Also, there's an easy way to undo this if needed using the "rd" tool in CMD: rd "file path you used"
