CP32-2: Distributing and Updating Customization Files Automatically

Instructor: Thomas Parks

Class Description: This session and demonstration will provide working programs to distribute customization of AutoCAD within a corporate environment. These programs simplify the task of providing standardized customization and will be explained so that participants can just tweak the programs or write their own in-house distribution software. The sample software uses a combination of batch files and VBA programs to accomplish AutoCAD customization. We will also briefly discuss strategies for handling multiple user profiles on a workstation, a .Net registry update program, secondary install, the RoboCopy utility, one-time registry updates, and logon scripts.
