    If you've completed the deployment configuration, simply right-click the application icon, select Properties, on the Shortcut tab add the appropriate start switch(es) to the end of the Target Property's TextBox. Lemon squeezy.

    If you want create a custom shortcut, it may be possible by editing some XML files. I was successful in adding some Support Paths to my Civil 3D deployment, which is not possible using the Deployment editor in C3D, but is in vanilla AutoCAD. You may be able to piece through the XML files and figure out a way to add another shortcut.

    To change the PrinterConfigDir, PrinterStyleSheetDir, Support Paths (ACAD), and Trusted Locations:
    1. Find the cp_C3D_Profiles.xml file in the Deployment Image (<deployment folder>\Img\Content\en)
    2. Open with Notepad and find the entries for “PrinterConfigDir”, “PrinterStyleSheetDir “, “TRUSTEDPATHS” and “ACAD”.
    3. Add the paths to the list of paths already defined. Separate each with a semicolon.
    4. Save the XML.
    Hope that helps. If not you, then maybe someone else.

    I do use that option in the deployment tool for adding custom shortcuts. The trick is that you don't copy everything from a sample working shortcut. For example, assume that the working shortcut on your test bed has the following in the Target item:

    Code:
    "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD MEP 2010\acad.exe" /ld "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD MEP 2010\AecBase.dbx" /p "P:\AutoCAD MEP 2010\Sparling MEP.arg"


    What you need to add to the line in the deployment tool is:

    Code:
    /ld "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD MEP 2010\AecBase.dbx" /p "P:\AutoCAD MEP 2010\Sparling MEP.arg"

    Thank you, Robert, I was just searching for the very information you provided, and was wondering which part of the parameters needed to be removed after putting in the entire set of options from a prior manual installation while setting up my deployments for 2015. Your response was spot on.

    Robert, where are you inserting the Code? You also mention don't copy everything from a sample working shortcut. Could you give an example please. This is my first time using a custom deployment. In the past I would visit every workstation and modify each users settings manually. My goal is the set the support paths, plotters, templates path in the options. Any help would be appreciated. I really wish Autodesk would have giving this option in the Deployment editor like they did with AutoCAD and Map3D.
