Main and Enterprise CUI

[ryan]

I am beating my head against the wall for what should be a simple problem.

Trying to setup a Vanilla AutoCAD 2015 deployment using the following setup;

Profile: Manager
Main = company.cui
Enterprise = none

Profile: User
Main = user.cui
Enterprise = company.cui

User.cui is empty
Company.cui has acad and acetmain loaded as partial, corporate workspace defined here)

The problem I have is that when I switch to the user profile, my interface is not correct. Even if I reapply the corporate workspace defined in the company.cui file it still isn't correct.

It *seems* the problem is AutoCAD is somehow (???) loading in bim360, sketchupimport, and a couple other menu files as partial even though they are definately NOT being called up in either user.cui or company.cui - there seems to be some code running that is loading in these menus and in turn, screwing up interface.

I even tried copying the workspace from the company.cui into user.cui but same problem.

Very frustrating.

Thanks!

Switching profiles does a few things with workspaces... try about halfway down this thread: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-2013-2014-2015/how-to-PERMANENTLY-AND-FOREVER-turn-off-the-Nav...

The items you mention automatically loading are likely coming through using the .bundle auto-loader mechanism.

Also, check your settings for saving workspace settings.  If its set to automatic then anything which constitutes a change will prompt a save.  That includes previously loaded CUIx files not being present.

Can you elaborate on this .bundle autoloader? I think that must be the cause.

I found the information about the .bundle deployments which solved the problem; http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2013/ENU/index.html?url=files/GUID-5E50A846-C80B-4FFD-8DD3-C20B22098008...

Much thanks for pointing me to the right place to look.
