Installation guide

What are the benefits of identifying my industry?
By identifying your industry, Initial Setup can determine which default drawing
template might be the one that best fits your needs. Along with defining the
default drawing template, the industry you choose is also used to:
■ Identify partner products. Partner products are developed by third-party
developers; they extend the base functionality of your product and add
specific functionality that is related to your industry. For more information
about partner products, see http://partnerproducts.autodesk.com/.
■ Control Autodesk Seek results. Autodesk Seek is a content search site that
contains symbols, specifications, and other design-related content that
might be placed into a drawing or bid package. The specified industry
filters the information that is found based on the content that is best
related to you. For more information about Autodesk Seek, see
http://seek.autodesk.com/.
How is this information being used?
The information gathered from Initial Setup is used to configure several
different features and to help guide the future direction of the program. The
following features are customized with Initial Setup:
■ The default drawing template (DWT) file used to create new drawings.
■ The industry that best relates to you to use for filtering search results on
Autodesk Seek.
■ Which task-based tools to display in a workspace.
No information is shared with Autodesk about the choices you make unless
you participate in the Customer Involvement Program (CIP). For information
about the Customer Involvement Program, see Customer Involvement Program
(CIP) in the Network Administrator’s Guide.
What happens if I skip or cancel Initial Setup?
If you skip or cancel Initial Setup, AutoCAD Civil 3D is not changed from its
current state. You can return to Initial Setup when AutoCAD Civil 3D is
restarted by checking Remind Me the Next Time AutoCAD Civil 3D Starts on
the Skip Initial Setup page or through the Options dialog box.
