Planning the installation

In particular when installing on a number of workstations in a company network, you should plan which data are to be installed on a local drive and which are to be installed on a server drive. Below you will find an overview of the folders with default paths and a brief description of the folder contents.

The standard program folder (depending on the operating system used, e.g. C:\Program Files) is given in the following in each case with %ProgramFiles%\.
The folder for user-specific application data (depending on the operating system used, e.g. C\:USERS \Username \APDATA \ROAMING) is given in the following in each case with %AppData%\.
The folder for general application data (depending on the operating system used, e.g. C\:ProgramData) is given in the following in each case with %ProgramData%\.

ATHENA:	Folder for ATHENA 2018 program files %ProgramFiles%\CAD-PLAN\2017\ATHENA
Data local:	Folder for local settings, e.g. drawing frames, text boxes, plot script files. %AppData%\CAD-PLAN\2017\ATHENA\DataLocal
Data group:	Folder for group settings, e.g. standard part definitions. %ProgramData%\CAD-PLAN\2017\ATHENA\DataGroup
Systems:	Folder for files from the profile manufacturers. Here, further subdirectories for various manufacturers are set up in which you can copy profile files and system sections (*.dwg) from the manufacturers. C:\DWG\Systems
User data:	Folder for user blocks and temporary drawings. C:\DWG\SYSTEMS\USER
Project folder:	Folder for project drawings C:\DWG

CPL:	Folder for general program files for CAD-PLAN applications. %ProgramFiles%\CAD-PLAN\2017\CPl
Data local:	Folder for local settings for CAD-PLAN applications. %AppData%\CAD-PLAN\2017\CPL\DATALocal
Data group:	Folder for group settings for CAD-PLAN applications. %ProgramData%\CAD-PLAN\2017\CPL\DATAGroup

When ATHENA is installed in a network, you can move files from the folders DataLocal to the folder DataGroup and vice versa. Thus, you can control which settings are to be user-specific and which settings are to be the same for all users.
