Changed User Data and Preference Folder

[Christian Fekete]

I changed the working location for the user data and preference folder to a new location. Can I relocate it to the previous one, I lost all the resources and favorites that I had setup before in the standard vectorworks location. Where should I look for the previous one?

Please advise how to do that. Thank you

I was able to get back my favorite in the mix and reorganize my palettes. I am not sure what I lost really. Thanks and a great weekend

Glad you have it.  For future readers of this thread, the default location of the User Folder on Mac is:

 

 

Where pat is replaced by your user name.

 

By default, the User:Library file is hidden on Mac. You can use the Go menu from the finder and either type the path into the Go To Folder option, or you can hold down the Option Key and Library will show up in the Go menu items.

 

I have added Library to my Finder sidebar to make it easier to get there when I want to.
