XGW creates a standard directory structure which is most commonly used for system installations. However, if files are moved after they are used in jobs, the software may have trouble locating them without a little help.

By default, XGW will be installed to the root of c. For v6 the operating program folder is C:\xenetech32.
The resident font files and job files are included in their respective directories, outlined below:

C:\xenetech32 (program working directory)
C:\xfiles (job include files)
xfiles\AI - store Adobe Illustrator
xfiles\BMP - store bitmap
xfiles\eps - store eps
xfiles\fnt - store resident engraving font data
xfiles\jbs - used for Jobserver/ViperDriver as post-engrave destination. Replaced by outboxes below
xfiles\plt - store HPGL PLT files
xfiles\txt - store text files, usually for copy input
xfiles\util - store spare program defaults for tables, etc. 
xfiles\xem - store engraving macros
xfiles\xlg - store Xenetech logos
xfiles\xot - store saved engraving jobs

*optionally, the following folders may also be seen with Ethernet-based machines
xfiles\laser inbox - output location from XGW where Ethernet Utilities picks up the file for processing
xfiles\laser inbox2 - same, for engraver 2
xfiles\laser outbox - destination location for jobs completed by engraver
xfiles\laser outbox2 - same, for engraver 2
xfiles\rotary inbox - output location from XGW where Ethernet Utilities picks up the file for processing
xfiles\rotary inbox2 - same, for engraver 2
xfiles\rotary outbox - destination location for jobs completed by engraver
xfiles\rotary outbox2 - same, for engraver 2

Location for TrueType Fonts: TrueType fonts are stored in the windows\fonts folder.

Rotary Driver Default folder information
For the rotary driver, the working program folder is C:\program files\Xenetech Global Incorporated 32\Xenetech Rotary Driver
The Source directory default is: C:\program files\Xenetech global Incorporated 32\Xenetech Rotary Driver
If using Ethernet, the default destination directory is C:\xfiles\(laser or rotary)(2)\(inbox or outbox) - should correspond to the Hotwatch inbox on the target controller.
