I've created some custom line types and those files are living in a personal folder but I want to move them to the default location for line types that AutoCAD Elec 22 uses. Be damned if I can figure out the convoluted paths Autodesk uses. Where are these files stored on my local hard drive? Or will that vary for different machines?

Eventually do a search on the internet :

From what I see around, it should be in the directory : Support.
Eventually do a search on your ( C ) disk with the extention type of your line type file, .lin if I remember.

Type in (findfile "acad.lin") or (findfile "acadiso.lin") and the return will show you the folder location.
