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
information regarding exporting and importing custom settings, see the
Customization Guide.
How do I uninstall my software?
To uninstall AutoCAD LT and all of its components from your computer,
navigate from Windows Start to the control panel for adding, changing, and
removing programs. When you select AutoCAD LT as the program you want
to change, the Installer will open in maintenance mode. Click Uninstall and
follow the instructions in the Installer.
Note: AutoCAD LT installs a material library and base resolution image library
by default. These must be uninstalled separately through the Windows control
panel for adding or removing programs.
What are the tools and utilities available for
installation?
You can install the following products from the Tools & Utilities section of
the Installer.
■ Autodesk CAD Manager Tools — Utility to allow CAD administrators
to modify resource settings after a deployment is completed.
■ Autodesk Content Service — Utility (for installation on network server)
to build index and enable searching on shared network folders and in
Autodesk Seek. Works in conjunction with Autodesk Content Explorer
(preselected feature for installation with AutoCAD LT), which must also
be installed.
