Question:

How can I redirect the Allplan user folder to any other folder?


Hint:

The procedure described below is at your own risk.
Questions about this should definitely be clarified before practical implementation.
Always make a copy before making changes to a file.
Before you change registry entries, create a backup of the registry key to be modified by exporting the key in the registry editor under File->Export...



Answer:

Create the folder to be used for the Allplan user directory on your computer's data storage medium.

Open the registry editor and go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Nemetschek\Allplan\<Version>\InstallRoot.
Create a new key “CustomizedPaths” here (please note that it is case sensitive!).
In this new key, you now create a new key of the "string" type with the name USR for the Allplan user folder:
Double-click on the newly created key and enter the path to the corresponding folder as the value:
e.g.​​​​​​​
USR -> C:\Nemdaten\Allplan\Usr\Local
