I am the IT person for a company that uses AutoCAD 2007. I am preparing a ghost image that will be used for deployment to multiple machines. I am trying to find a way to copy all of the customized settings into one location, so that deployment can occur quickly. I am not familar with AutoCAD but in my research I have discovered that...there are four default things that get copied over...
desktop
printer
profile
workspace
I created a batch file that copies the necessary customization files that I believe need to be copied over. However, I've noticed that the workspace appears to load correctly, but the Profile Path's that the users customize too does not load. Essentially, they prefer the vanilla look with some customized buttons that perform some functions. Additonally, as I understand it they will need to have the printers copied down as well. I am unsure of the file location for the printers that need to be copied over.
Am I right in assuming that this method will work? I would like to overwrite the default files and go with the customized files to eliminate any problems?
[code]
@ECHO OFF
REM desktop Copies the Desktop Icon AutoCAD 2007
REM workspace copies acad.cui, acad.mnr
REM profile copies over vanilla.arg
SET COPYCMD=/Y
XCOPY "\\SERVER\workspace" "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Autodesk\Autodesk Mechanical Desktop 2007\R17.0\enu\Support\" /S /I
XCOPY "\\SERVER\profile" "%ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\MDT 2007\" /S /I
XCOPY "\\SERVER\desktop" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop\" /S /I
pause
