[solved] Issues saving to Library

Post by WFD218 » Sat Aug 27, 2022 12:40 am

When I try to save a drawing to the Library it says I don't have permission that I need to contact the Administrator, I am the Administrator on my computer.

Computer: Windows 11 Home, Version 21H2
QCAD Version: 3027.6.0

Hi,

C:\Program Files\QCAD\Libraries\default\Office\ is a windows system path and protected by it for multiple reason. You could change the permission for that folder but I wouldn't recommend it.

Instead I recommend to create a dedicated folder for your library items. Common praxis in windows would be below "Documents". Then tell QCAD below Application Preferences where to find those Library Items:

The big benefit of this setup would be that you don't have to worry about a QCAD update. It will work without any intervention for all upcoming updates ... :wink:
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."
