For both 2005 and 2006, I have used an acaddoc.lsp dropped onto the machine
with the install. The lisp gets dropped into the main support folder that
is installed with AutoCAD, so it is read the first time AutoCAD is started.
All it contains is instruction to look for a specific profile and if it
doesn't exist, to import it from a shared drive on the server. This custom
profile has all our settings/support paths, etc. Because its support paths
are directed first to the shared drive on the server, where we have another
acaddoc.lsp to load our custom routines, the original acaddoc.lsp never gets
read again after that initial time to set up the profile.
HTH...let me know if you need more info/clarification

Does anyone know of a good way to get custom paths and other custom setting
like plotter setup paths to be set up right after a network install. I have
25+ computers to install AutoCAD 2006 to, I have one stand alone seat that I
have everything setup on and working. I would like to be able to copy these
setting to the install image or at least be able to copy these setting to
the network and then load them on every computer. Before I was able to do
this with the profile arg file, now I don't know how to go about this. I
tried to set all this up in the install image but it did not work, I did a
test install to one computer and it lost all the changes I made to the
paths. Anyone have any good Ideas?
Thanks
