From Autocad 2024 Architecture layout to Standard edition layout

[ced8DHUU]

I've always used Standard edition of Autocad 2024. Now I'm using Autocad Architecture, but the interface, layout and menus are different. How could I change the initial interface, tools and menus of Autocad 2024 Architecture in a Standard edition layout? Is it possible? Thanks in advance

If you do this,

what is the difference to Acad2024 then?

You can start AutoCAD2024 by this link

[WIN]+[R] or create a DesktopLink

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2024\acad.exe"

or

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2024\acad.exe" /p "AutoCAD" /product "ACA" /language "en-US"

Excuse me, I will try as soon as possible.

If I create a new Desktop link as you have said, I will launch my Autocad 2024 with a Standard Edition layout (menus, tools, icons,...), correct? is "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2024\acad.exe" a different .exe file than the one that is invoked to launch Autocad 2024 Architecture?

Thank you very much.

No.

Compare it with you existing DesktopLink for Architecture2024.

The core program is AutoCAD2024,

Architekture Toolset using another cuix menu file with other items and Architecture loads with additional Tools,

but the core program is still the same.

options

Profiles tab

Choose profile  (suggest AutoCAD if you want the core look).

When you installed it, it might've asked you whether you wanted to add desktop icons for each profile.  If not, you can still copy a desktop shortcut and edit it to launch in a different manner.
