You can use command line switches to specify several options when you start
the program. For example, you can run a script or start with a specified drawing
template.
Command line switches are parameters you can use to create custom shell
scripts to start AutoCAD LT in a specific way. Valid switches are listed in the
following table.
Designates a script to run after you start the
program (b stands for batch process). Scripts
Script name-b
can be used to set up drawing parameters
in a new drawing file.
Creates a new drawing based on a template
or prototype drawing.
Template file name-t
The syntax for using command line switches is
pathname/AutoCAD LT [drawingname] [-switchname]
When using a switch option, you must follow the switch with a space and
then the name of a file. For example, the following entry starts the program
from a folder named AutoCAD LT 2013with the drawing template arch1.dwt
and executes a script file startup.scr.
/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD LT 2013/AutoCAD LT
2013.app/Contents/MacOS/AutoCAD LT -t /templates/arch1.dwt
-b startup.scr
