Did everyone else get AutoCAD 2014 with PDSU 2014?

[Anonymous]

I don't have a separate installer like normal for AutoCAD 2014 in my 2014 tab of subscription center. Does everyone else have it?

Thanks!

Why doesn't your VAR know? I won't go there!

Yes, you have one installation of ACAD. The profile that's part of the shortcut that launches the program tells it if it shoudl laounch vanilla, mech, elect or a profile that you've created.

:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\acad.exe"  /p <<ACADMPP>> /product ACADM /language "en-US"

Above is the target for mech. Everything after the /p is what starts mech instead of elect or vanilla

When I installed PDSU2014 and the installation complete page came up there was an information bubble next to AutoCAD Mech and Electrical telling me I can download and install AutoCAD separately if needed.

I have installed it with no issues. I don't use Mechanical or Electrical just plain Autocad and one thing that I have noticed is if you send a shortcut to the desktop for the Autocad instance shown in the Mechanical or Electrical program folder you cannot edit the target properties in the shortcut. If you install plain AutoCAD you get a shortcut that can be edited.
