      <title>ACAD  2024 Customization for Enterprise - Best Practices</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have been trying for a while to get our enterprise wide customized ACAD2024 to work identically on deployed machines across the entire company and cannot figure it out. I have our architecture department setup a clean install of ACAD24 customized to their liking, with a variety of tool bars, ribbons, etc. on a single desktop. It has an enterprise workspace/cuix (read only, for restoration if local user workspace gets messed up) and local workspace/cuix that they've used for years on the network share folders. I have been exporting the ARG file from their setup machine to a network store location, and pointing to that with the desktop shortcut /p parameter and that seems to work fine (it loads settings, file location preferences, templates, etc.) However, the UI generally does not come across. Things like the specific tools in the toolbar ribbon are missing or partially loaded, etc. The enterprise CUIX loads partial toolbars, and when I switch to the local C drive based user CUIX toolbars disappear, the command line disappears, the ribbon becomes hidden, etc. When I use the CUI command I find that the local workspace CUIX is missing all the toolbar references, ribbon tabs, etc. within the CUI editor, when compared to the reference computer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My bottom line question is, as an IT admin who doesn't know autocad24 behind the scenes, how do I copy/migrate all the customized settings from this "reference machine" setup by the architects to be able to make all studio computers get setup in the same exact way? What is autodesk's best practice? Ideally in my mind, I get the ARG file exported and have the CUIX files located where the ARG file expect them to be, and then I just edit the desktop shortcut to start autocad with the correct ARG file. That should point to the correct CUIX files. In practice though, it seems like the CUIX files drop their links or data and load in missing toolbars, ribbon features, etc. and that there isn't a clean way to manage the corporate/enterprise setup of customization. Perhaps I'm missing something, and would appreciate assistance.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a conclusive list of files needed to make an identical customized clone of an ACAD24 setup, across all machines in the studio, or some method to do this? In theory the export/migrate custom settings that creates a zip file would work, but I want to be able to set it up so that process doesn't have to be repeated by every employee at their first login.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have attached photos trying to show and highlight the types of toolbars that are missing, with the CUIX editor showing the contents of the enterprise vs local user CUIX and how they differ specifically in the toolbars and ribbons tabs sections. The last photo shows how the local user UI on the deployed studio machine is missing all of the ribbon, toolbars, command line, etc.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If someone could help me wrap my head around what autocad24 expects me to do to allow the UI, workspaces, and profile to come over correctly on deployed machines, I would greatly appreciate it. Additionally if there is some sort of autodesk help/support that I can get with autodesk professionals that would be fine but I'm not sure where to get that from.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Posting to follow up for any future IT Admins looking for some guidance/help that are new to ACA24. I was able to solve my own problem/questions and my findings were that pretty much everything you should need (except for more advanced lisp, etc. customizations) should come over in either the .ARG profile/file which is really just a registry file with a different file extension/formatting, and the CUI/X files. Custom workspaces (toolbars, etc.) are contained and stored within the CUI file from what I can tell, just make sure the CUI file has been saved correctly post modifications/customizations.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The issue I was chasing was a correctly configured CUIX file on the local user's C drive location, that was working, but had not been saved/overwritten to capture all the latest changes. Not sure if this is 100% the correct explanation but by going into the workspace/CUIX editor and just hitting save on the CUIX file, it overwrote the C drive location file for the local user CUI and upon export/deployment to test endpoints solved the issue.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I'm not saying it's all encompassing, but I have found as an IT admin new to ACA24 customization, that most of what you should need lies in ARG and CUI files assuming they are saved correctly. This greatly reduces workload and allows saving those two file types to a corporate location like on a network share drive, and just using the desktop shortcut /p parameter to pick the correct ARG file to start ACA24 with. Then, if the ARG file correctly points to the specific corporate (network share) and local C drive CUI files, ACA24 should open and load correctly per your customer's needs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I found these methods combined solved the majority of my problems, which I did not find intuitive from the ACA24 admin deployment instructions or suggestions. Hopefully Autodesk continues in the future to make their software easier to manage and deploy for IT admins that have to handle numerous endpoints and don't know the ins and outs of the software suites.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
