I just recently made the switch from Autocad 2005 to 2009. When Autocad starts, it starts in the folder of the last drawings that was open. Is there a way to have Autocad start in a specific folder all the time. 

You can accomplish this by entering the folder path on the shortcut properties "start in". Simply "right click" on your desktop shortcut then select "properties" then enter the folder dir on the "start in" field.
 
Hope this helps.
 
 
 

yes, i have tried that and it still does not work so there must be something in a profile setting or the maybe even the registry. I am not sure where it would be.

Try the [VAR]REMEMBERFOLDERS[/VAR] variable.

Now that is a lot of brass air fittings http://www.liangdianup.com/subpages/airfitting_1.htm  there is just about every typeof air fitting that you could want. Wholesale prices too. I guess these could be used as small water pipe fitting also. Iused some of the parts to make my babington wvo burner.
