That was quite the post last week, I know (Bootstrap AutoCAD Deployments for Customizations Part 5<\/a>). Now I can take it down a notch or two (grin). I’ll show you how to skip the bootstrap process, and how to give IT what it needs to set up the deployment.<\/p>\n

When and how to prevent the bootstrap from executing<\/h2>\n

Wondering if you have to run the bootstrap whenever you launch AutoCAD\u00ae software? Answer: Not if you start AutoCAD with the correct profile.<\/p>\n

Skipping the bootstrap is easy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Place your network customization folders in first position in the AutoCAD search path<\/li>\n
  2. Put your real* autocad.<\/em>lsp<\/em> file inside<\/li>\n
  3. Done<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    * Note<\/strong>: Your “real”\u00a0acad.lsp<\/em> file has code to load .net<\/em> files and configure AutoCAD in specific ways. It is not<\/em> the acad.lsp<\/em> that starts the bootstrap process.<\/p>\n

    The reason this simple process works? AutoCAD executes only the first acad.lsp<\/em> file it finds. It first searches the open drawing\u2019s location, and then the Support file search path in the order shown in the Options dialog.<\/p>\n

    Just place your network location before %ProgramFiles%AutodeskAutoCAD 2016Support and your real acad.lsp<\/em> file will be executed by your desired profile, skipping the bootstrap.<\/p>\n

    To illustrate: Last week I put the network code in the p:autocadcode<\/em> folder, and placed it first in the search path. Then I put my real acad.lsp<\/em> file in that folder. See Figure 1.<\/p>\n

    \"Location<\/a>

    Figure 1: Location of the “real” acad.lsp file.<\/p><\/div>\n

    The IT department modifies\u00a0the deployment<\/h2>\n

    Remember I told you IT needs to modify only one thing when creating the deployment? Here it comes!<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Give IT the bootstrap autocad.<\/em>lsp<\/em> file to add to the deployment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Steps 2 \u2013 7 are for IT.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Run the deployment wizard and click the drop-down button to open and configure the AutoCAD deployment. See Figure 2.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \"The<\/a>

        Figure 2: The AutoCAD deployment wizard. Configure with autocad.lsp.<\/p><\/div>\n

          \n
        1. Scroll to the Additional Files section.<\/li>\n
        2. Select the Support folder (it\u2019s there by default) and click the Browse\u2026 button.<\/li>\n
        3. Add the bootstrap autocad.<\/em>lsp<\/em> to the folder. See Figure 3.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \"Where<\/a>

          Figure 3: Add the bootstrap version of autocad.lsp.<\/p><\/div>\n

            \n
          1. Close the Configuration section.<\/li>\n
          2. Proceed with the deployment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            That\u2019s all IT needs to do to create a deployment package that lets\u00a0you control your customizations. That wasn\u2019t so bad, was it?<\/p>\n

            Wait! We\u2019re not done! Almost! But not quite!<\/h2>\n

            Because we’ve been having such a good time, I’ve decided to append two additional posts concerning\u00a0AutoCAD-based<\/em> products, such as AutoCAD Civil 3D and AutoCAD MEP.\u00a0Many of these products include\u00a0a Content Browser feature, which is where you’ll support custom catalogs. Intrigued?<\/p>\n
