Hello again!

I export to PDF from AutoCAD 2012 using the EXPORTPDF command.
Everything works fine, but...
At some point I changed the default 'save as' file path.

EXPORTPDF - SAVE AS PDF - OPTIONS - GENERAL DWF/PDF OPTIONS - LOCATION

I have it defaulting to MyDocuments, but I would like to get it back to saving to the last used folder.

It's really a time waster, because I have to navigate to my folder location starting from MyDocuments every time, and as I'm sure everyone's are, the file paths are long!


Any ideas? 
Thanks!

Options - Plot & publish - Plot to file?
That sets it to a hard location...
I need it to save to the last used folder.

Or type ctrl+p for plotting.

How about change the output to drive C, is it ok?

Or the other option just make a shortcut to your desktop for that default destination.
