Network Deployments and Added Files...

[Dr._House]

I made some edits to the ACAD2010doc.lsp file.. I try to add it to my deployment in the program that I got with CAD and when I add it to the deployment it fails.. am I missing something, is there another place to add this version of the file or is there a way to copy this newer edited file onto a users system after the install

Do NOT edit Acad20xx.lsp or Acad20xxDoc.lsp files. Those are for Autodesk's use and can be overwritten by deployment or service packs.

Create an AcadDoc.lsp file and include that in the deployment. You can add files to the standard deployment folders in the deployment packager.

we modify the arg profiles for each verticle, then we modify the shortcut on the desktop with a switch to pull in that server profile....

then we put the lisp routines on the server using unc paths to pull the lisps

Don't mean to sound ignorant here, I'm a newb when it comes to setting these things up.. but will the AcadDoc.lsp file I create load every time I start a drawing? Also, do I create that in that same Support directory?

Yes. AcadDoc is the user/company "version" of Acad20xxDoc.lsp. As long as it is located somewhere in the support folder path it will loead with each drawing.

Note that when supporting multiple users, I highly suggest locating all firm and user customizations on the network with those paths located before the local Support folder.

See TS21336 for more information on startup files.
