Where do I customize my installation?
Click on the AutoCAD band of the Install > Configure & Begin Installation page
of the Installer to reveal the configuration area. Optional features are listed
there, many of them pre-selected for installation.
How can I install medium resolution Material
Library images?
In addition to the Material Library images installed by default with AutoCAD,
you may also install the Medium Image Material Library if you plan to perform
large renders or create close-ups of objects which require high quality textures.
Installation takes place after you've installed AutoCAD. When you invoke
either the RENDER or RENDERCROP command from within AutoCAD, a task
dialog will appear to provide an opportunity for downloading the Medium
Image Material Library.
How can I be sure available service packs are
included in my installation?
You can include a service pack for your installation in the Service Pack section
of the Installer configuration page. Three options are available:
■ Download the available service packs from Autodesk.
■ Install a service pack from your local network drive.
■ Do not install a service pack.
