steven-g Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Wouldn't having named workspaces work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock005 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Nope i've been having a problem with a software called Carlson, that has its own menus, and when you launch it, it takes over, and then even launching plain Autocad still launches carlson menus and takes a hell of a time to load. And i have to type menu and load that acad.cui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try starting with a profile that has all paths for Carlson removed along with the non-Carlson workspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftertouch Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Your shortcut is set to a profile. I got a custom profile that uses a 'Main enterprise'. This enterprice has the default ACAD.CUIX and my custom CUI as 'partialy loaded' files in them. that way i always have my custom CUIX, but still have the latast version of a ACAD.CUIX.

jonathann3891 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Right click on your shortcut and look at the target. Add the path and profile name and if you want a certain workspace to load, you can add that too. Example: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2016\acad.exe" /p j:\cbicad\acad\CSA\A2k16\CSA.arg /w MyCSA /nologo CSA.arg is the profile MyCSA is the workspace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i have to type menu and load that acad.cui Carlson creates a profile. It's .EXE launches AutoCAD with this profile. From this point on, when you launch AutoCAD using the plain AutoCAD icon, it launches using the last used profile. So what you need to do is edit your AutoCAD icon to use the profile that you want to use, instead of the Carlson profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading your post again yes you can include this information on a shortcut and have the appropriate Profile and Workspace loaded by double clicking the shortcut. Make sure there are not any /b scripts or /ld ARX or DBX applications referencing Carlson in the shortcut.

Which one is the autocad and which the carlson profile, so i can reference to each their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Right click on icon and look at properties "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013\acad.exe" /P > The /p refers to the profile to be loaded, hence copy the icon and edit the profile name to correct one eg /p Autocad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
