	CREATE ASE DATA FOLDER
	OVERVIEW
	Each ASE project requires a single 'ASE Data' folder. The folder stores all ASE project settings and data. It must be accessible to all drawings in a given project. This folder should not be used for any other purpose, such as storing drawings or other documents.
	NAMING
	The folder may be use any desired name
	LOCATION
	The developers recommend storing the folder in location that facilitates recognition of the project and drawings associated with the stored data. However, so long as the location is visible in the data path folder browser, it’s compatible with ASE Civil. The folder may exist locally on any drive or on a network location ASE data is currently not accessible directly from a Cloud storage location.
	ACCESS
	The ASE data folder must be assigned read & write access universally among all users that will store and reference its data for a project.
	PROCEDURE
	Use any Windows file browser (Windows Explorer, My Computer, etc.) to create a folder in which to store data and settings for a project which will use ASE Civil.
	ADVANCED CONCEPTS
	A project may contain more than one ASE data folder. Various versions of the vertical design or program settings (e.g., Profile Generator preferences, Plan Labels II stored styles, etc.) could potentially be stored in any selected data folder.
