What are the services of the Communication
Center?
During a custom deployment, you can choose whether or not to activate user
preferences for Communication Center services.
■ Enable live updates: Allows users to check for updates when an internet
connection is established. If a product patch is available, notification of
its availability is received on the program's status bar; the patch can be
either downloaded directly from an Autodesk server or modified before
being copied to workstations.
■ Enable CAD Manager Channel: Controls the display of CAD Manager
Channels, allowing users to toggle CAD Manager Channels, define the
CAD Manager feed location, and set the CAD Manager Channel display
name.
What is Autodesk Exchange?
Autodesk Exchange is a new central portal for Help, learning aids, tips and
tricks, videos, and downloadable apps. If you accept the User Preference default
to display Autodesk Exchange at startup, you will have access to a dynamic
selection of tools from the Autodesk community.
How do I modify a deployment configuration?
Once you have created a deployment, you can modify its configuration.
To modify a deployment configuration:
1 Locate and open the shared folder where your deployment is located.
2 Open the Tools subfolder within your deployment folder.
3 Locate the shortcut for Create or Modify a Deployment.
4 Double-click the Create or Modify a Deployment shortcut to launch the
Installer in Modify Deployment Configuration mode.
