Streamlining AutoCAD Installations

Anonymous — Mon, 11 May 2020 14:32:44 GMT

Is there a way to automate/streamline configurations for AutoCAD components? Example, we useFabrication CAD MEP, which we configure a specific way so I'm wondering if it's possible to make a custom configuration file that can then be uploaded instead of having to manually configure each machine?

Have you tried To configure and install software

Configure your installation:

Accept the default configuration by clicking Install. This option preselects the core components to be installed with your product.
Customize the installation by selecting or deselecting components, adding service packs, and so on. For details about configuration, see your product documentation. After you select the components, click Install.

Sorry for the confusion, I will try to clarify.

Once we have AutoCAD set up on one machine, is it possible to export settings to a configuration file so they can be imported to another machine so when AutoCAD, etc are installed on the next machine it doesn't have to be configured again?

Yes! That's what I was trying to find, thanks so much! Not sure why that didn't come up when I searched for a way to export settings.
