Renaming ADT 3.3

This is just an aesthetic/political thing.

We are implementing ADT 3.3 but for most users I just want to use it as 2002, ADT minus the menus.

What I would like to do is to have the application window say 'Autodesk 2002' at the top (As it does in the early stages of the loading process) instead of 'Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3.3'.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

You have to do it programatically by subclassing
the application window.

Thanks for your response but that has gone a bit over my head.

If you could add a bit more that would be great.

Then you or anyone else have to be able to program
it with VB or VC++ or the like. I don't have a 1 minute solution for it though.
I might be able to do it but then I have to have some hours for
it...

No programming needed.

The ARX modules that are loaded by Arch Desktop change the name. If you set
up Autocad to not load up the Aec Modules it will read Autocad 2002. Check
out the info on how to turn ADT into Vanilla Autocad at

Doesn't work for me. Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3.3 shows up as soon as
a drawing is opened or a new drawing is created.

Garya,

The way to do this that worked for me is to create an new profile. In that
profile you first have to remove the AEC menu items. You do that via the
TOOLS > Customize... > Menu and then UNLOAD the AEC menu.

Name your profile something like "2002" and make it CURRENT.

Now go to the desktop on each computer and create a new AutoCAD Icon.
Rename it to A2k2 or whatever you like. Right click on the new icon and
select PROPERTIES. Now Select the SHORTCUT Tab and revise the end of the
Target Path from "/p adt.arg" (the "" are mine) to "/p 2002" or instead of
"2002" make it whatever you named your profile in ADT. They have to match
exactly.

Also while looking at that Target path, make sure it has only one path
listed....such as "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ADT 3-3\acad.exe" /p 2002.
The quotation marks in this case are required because of the spaces between
some of the words. Note that there is a single space between the last " and
the /p, and also between the /p and 2002.

You can also revise the "Start in:" path while you are here so that the cad
operator will always start in the project folder. Saves them time browsing
the whole system for their working drawing.

I think that ought to do it.

I may have left out a step.

Good luck.

Thanks for your responses.

I have no problem with setting ADT to run as Vanilla 2002. What I was trying to do was to make ADT say it is AutoCAD 2002 (in the top line, lefthand side) each time it opens or creates a new drawing.

Guess I can't help you there. Sorry.

Why worry about it? If they can't see the ADT menu, why fuss anymore? how
many of them are going to actually see that line anyway and notice what it
says?
