Installation guide

You need the CAD Manager tool if you want to make changes to CAD Manager
Channels.
When installing tools and utilities, which selections are
applicable for a stand-alone installation?
The Autodesk CAD Manager tool is the only tool that is beneficial to a
stand-alone licensed product. With the CAD Manager tool, you can modify
CAD Manager Channels.
Where do I find my server name?
When installing a network licensed product, you must specify the name of
the server that will run the Network License Manager. If you don’t know the
server name, you can quickly find it by opening a Windows command prompt
on the system that will be the Network License Manager. At the prompt, enter
ipconfig /all and note the Host Name entry.
When specifying user workstation settings, I am given
the option to specify a profile. What are profiles?
Profiles are created on the Profiles tab of the Options dialog box. Profiles can
contain configuration settings for just about anything that is not a drawing
based system variable. For example, a profile can contain things like support
paths, grip settings, and plot settings.
When you specify a profile on the Specify User Preferences page during the
deployment process, it ensures that all workstations that use that deployment
to install the product will be configured the same way.
Can I create custom desktop shortcuts?
You can choose to create custom desktop shortcuts that use command line
switches to specify several options when you start the program. For example,
command line switches can be set to run a script during program launch,
create a drawing based on a template or prototype drawing, or designate a
workspace that should be restored on startup.
For more information, see Customize Startup in the AutoCAD User’s Guide.
