If you are customizing the program or when you need to access certain files, you can use this table to quickly find the right one. These are the default paths for the program. It may be that you have set your own paths. For example, you may have templates or other files on a server, which can be an advantage as there are often good routines for backing up files on a server in case of an accident.

It is easy to get confused about the difference between the release (2022, 2023, etc.) of the program and the actual version number (24.0, 25.0, etc.) of the program. But if you follow these guidelines it will work, the table below is an example of what value to replace in the paths to find the right one:

Edition version number
2024 26.0
2023 25.0
2022 24.0
2021 23.0

This means that depending on the version you have installed, you replace the value in the paths with *VERSION NUMBER* with the version number or *ISSUE* with the edition of the program you have installed. For example, if you have IRONCAD 2022 installed, your path to, for example, the drawing templates should look like this:

Version number:

%appdata%\IronCAD\IRONCAD\24.0\en-us\Template\Drawing

Edition:

C:\Program Files\IronCAD\2022\AppData\en-us\Catalogs\Drawing
