QUESTION

When I am ready to save a file, I want it to default to the same location every time, rather than to the last folder that was opened. How can I do this?


ANSWER

In Home Designer Pro, it's possible to set a default save location that will open when you save a plan for the first time.


To set a default Save As location

  1. Navigate to Edit> Preferences  if you're on a Windows PC or Home Designer> Preferences if you're on a Mac.


  2. Click on the New Plans panel, select the Use This Folder radio button, and then click the Browse button to set the file path you would like to use to open and save files to.
