ACAD/ACA 2013 Installation

[Dazzman]

Could somebody please confirm that both of these products now install to the same directory C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2013 rather than ACA having its own AutoCAD Architecture folder as it used to?

Thanks.

[DarrenP]

yes

i did notice that

i installed from the building suite

i am wondering if that has to do with it

[Dazzman]

Thanks for that I thought it was just me ours are installed as separate installations I couldn't work out if its forward planning or bad programming on Autodesk part to have them in the same subdirectory?

[DarrenP]

no idea

[DarrenP]

are you installing from the building suite also?

[Dazzman]

No these are individual products installations not on suite.

[DarrenP]

i figured it was because i installed it from the suite

it doesn't look like thats the case

[Luciane_Conceicao]

When you isntall from the Suite it first installs AutoCAD and then ACA, both products use the same files.

In the past they were full installations, now only parts are installed.

I hope this helps you.

so it is because i installed from the building suite

[Dazzman]

So this is also true when you install them as individual products as well as I did.

I have confirmed that this is a new behavior for AutoCAD Architecture, being part of the Suite or not.

Hope this helps,
