Trueview 2018 Program ID

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to deploy Trueview 2018 to Windows 10 machines and am attempting to automate the default app settings. Trueview included. I have tried the recommendations here https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/dwg-trueview/looking-for-the-progid-dwg-trueview-2018/td-p/7104898 but have had no luck. I have searched the registry found and tested a few different "Program IDs" but they don't appear to work. Does anyone have the Program ID offhand already?

Hello @Anonymous, 

The recommended method is to create a SCCM package to deploy your Autodesk software, SCCM will pull this information. If you have an Enterprise Priority Business contract you should reach out to them for support. 

You would create Autodesk deployments, then create a SCCM package to deploy to client computers.

So the problem is not with creating the deployments. The problem is that I am having trouble locating the Program ID within the registry so that I can script the setting of default apps specifically DWG Trueview.

Hello @Anonymous, 

If you are trying to set .dwg file association with Trueview, it is handle a bit differently. We have many registry keys related this and applications modify this at startup and close (Autocad,Truewview etc.). Supported advise is leave the default file associations. 

The assoc command in windows to associate .dwg to Trueview 2018

assoc .dwg=dwgviewr.2001.409

Also, you should review this information on .dwg file association behavior.
