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 do I include Service Packs with my
deployment?
You can include a service pack for your deployment in the Service Pack section
of the Installer configuration page. If you select the option to download and
apply a service pack from Autodesk, it will be downloaded automatically. If
your installation is up-to-date, a message will tell you that a service pack is
not available.
If you choose to apply a service pack from your local drive or a drive in your
network, you will need to choose between two options:
■ Append the service pack(s) onto the deployment by applying the pack
after your software is deployed. With this method, the service pack is
applied to the current deployment only; the Administrative Image MSI
file is not affected.
■ Merge the service pack(s) into the Administrative Image MSI file. With this
method, the service pack may not be removed from the image.
