Copy File Upon AutoCAD Boot-up

[sbrusco]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a VB or VB.NET program that every time a user boots AutoCAD that an extraction template file (dxe) will be copied from a network location to a directory on the local "C:" drive, overwritting the old file as necessary. Also, how would i make it run every time a user boots AutoCAD? Would there be a line of lisp in my acad.lsp file?

Any head start would be appreciated.

TIA.
Sal

Hi Sal,

Make a CMD file with content like:

{code}
XCopy NetworkFileSpec LocalFileFolder
"C:\Program Files\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010\acad.exe" /P AutoCAD
{code}

Then run that file to start your AutoCAD.

Regards,


Laurie Comerford
