Loading Archibus menu

[riolo]

Good morning,
I have a problem with the use Autocad2014 whit overlay SmartClient 21.2 Archibus for Autocad
Once you installed the SmartClient, AutoCAD always starts when you load the Archibus menu.
How can I do to start Autocad without SmartClient?
The problem stems from the fact that we have many licenses of Autocad, but only a license Overlay for Archibus and even when we only use Autocad, the first to open Autocad takes the only available license Archibus.
Thanks for your help

Contact the authors of SmartClient for help with their product installation and removal.

Hi @riolo,

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

As @pendean suggests, contacting the manufacturer of the add-in is the best route to go.  If they can't set htis up for you perhaps you can configure an application icon with a startup switch that either enables or disables the path to the add-in.  This would allow you to select whether or not to use it or not.

Hi riolo,

Were you able to figure this out? And does your SmartClient extension log-in automatically when you start up AutoCAD?
