Hello all,
I am working on standardizing a few things in a AutoCAD 08/ SurvCAD 08 environment.
Essentially we are trying to share some of the basic files out of the support directory.
I am aware that many of the customized menus and such are stored there so I was wondering if anyone had a good idea of how to go about just sharing specific files only, such as the linetypes, hatch patterns and the font files for example.
I’ve done a little reading on command line switches and the theory to employ these “set in stone” files from this method seem to be ideal.
The bible makes it sounds as if this would override any files that are set via the options and or any environment settings.
So if this command line switch is the way to go? How would one make this work for any drawing, new or old.
Example of the code in target of the AutoCAD shortcut;
"C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2008\acad.exe" "H:\*.dwg" /s H:\Shared\1 AUGI Group Prototypes\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2008\R17.1\enu\Support\Fonts;/s H:\Shared\1 AUGI Group Prototypes\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2008\R17.1\enu\Support\Linetypes
"H:\*.dwg" I need this to be any drawing if its even possible...
Thanks in Advance
