I have been given the task of organizing our AutoCAD standards.
I can customize MicroStation very easily but AutoCAD/LandDesktop is new so can anyone help me out? We are still using LDD 2004 but will be moving to 2009 soon so I hope the settings are close and will convert.
I want to set up custom projects and search path or each of our projects. The "project" will be our job number then paths specific to that project under that like image folders, reference folders, dtm folders, etc... I don't want the "default" items LDD sets up I want my own, I will use the default to an extent but want more control.
I have set up a few projects under the 'Project Files Search Path' variable but don't understand how they can be assigned to the project quickly without using the "projectname" variable.
The profiles options seems a bit confusing as well. I set one up then switch back and all the "custom" options like the drafting settings are still set for the old profile.
I have worked with AutoCAD for 10 years but never dealt with this so I am sorta out of my element here. Need some expert help.
Thanks in advance all
