To install, select AutoCAD Profile and Architecture (US Imperial, US Metric,
and UK) content packs. You can also specify a new location for the Content
Browser Library file.
Desktop shortcuts for Content Packs launch the product with the Content
Pack profile. At least one Content Pack must be installed. Selecting multiple
Content Packs will increase disk space requirements and install time.
What if I accidentally delete or alter required
files? Can I replace or repair them?
You may be able to fix a problem that stems from a missing or altered support
file by running the Installer to repair or reinstall AutoCAD Architecture . To
launch the Installer, navigate from Windows Start to the control panel for
adding, changing, and removing programs. When you select AutoCAD
Architecture as the program to change, the Installer will open in maintenance
mode. Click Repair or Reinstall and follow the instructions in the Installer.
After repairing my installation, is it possible
to recover my settings?
Custom settings can be exported and later re-imported to the same system in
case you have to repair the installation of your program. For more detailed
