Last modified on: 18. Juni 2019

Problem:
When opening AutoCAD it shows the following errormessages:
"Can't find file base.dcl" or "base.dcl not found"
After this message other messages may follow.

Cause:
In the AutoCAD search paths of the current profile the file "base.dcl" does not exist

Solution:

Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
- Check if the current profile contains the following path:
"C:\Users\<user>\Appdata\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx\Rxx.x\enu\Support"
- Copy the contents of the following folders to this folder:
"C:\Program files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx\userdatacache\support" en
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx\UserDataCache\en-us\Support"
- Restart AutoCAD

If these actions do not have a positive result:

- Windows Start -> AutoCAD 20xx -> Reset settings To Default

- Choose 'Reset Custom Settings'

This function will reset AutoCAD to its default setting and installation with the folders correctly filled.
