The reasons for the file location changes include the following: ■ Limited user rights on a workstation. You can run AutoCAD LT as a limited user. This means that you no longer need power user or Administrator permissions to run AutoCAD LT once it is installed. ■ Roaming profiles. Roaming profiles allow you to log on to any computer within a network and retain your user settings. Some files, such as your personal settings and documents, follow you from computer to computer, while other files, such as templates (including Publish to Web templates), reside only on your system. If roaming profiles are allowed on your network, your "roamable" files are located in the \Application Data\Autodesk\ folder, and your "nonroamable" files are located in the \Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\ folder.

Locate Customized Files
Beginning with AutoCAD LT 2004, the location of some of your customized
files has changed. The reasons for the file location changes include the
following:
Limited user rights on a workstation. You can run AutoCAD LT as a limited
user. This means that you no longer need power user or Administrator
permissions to run AutoCAD LT once it is installed.
Roaming profiles. Roaming profiles allow you to log on to any computer
within a network and retain your user settings. Some files, such as your
personal settings and documents, follow you from computer to computer,
while other files, such as templates (including Publish to Web templates),
reside only on your system.
If roaming profiles are allowed on your network, your
roamable
files are
located in the
\Application Data\Autodesk\<Product Version>
folder, and
your
nonroamable
files are located in the
\Local Settings\Application
Data\Autodesk\<Product Version>
folder.
