b
Script name
Designates a script to run after AutoCAD starts (b stands for batch process). Scripts can be used to set up drawing parameters in a new drawing file. An SCR file type is assumed.
/t
Template file name
Creates a new drawing based on a template or prototype drawing. A DWT file type is assumed.
/c
Configuration folder
Specifies the path for the hardware configuration file that you want to use. You can specify a directory or a particular file. A CFG file type is assumed.
If you don't set the /c switch, AutoCAD searches the executable directory and uses the ACADCFGW or ACADCFG environment variable as a way to define the configuration file and directory location.
/v
View name
Designates a particular view of the drawing for display at startup of AutoCAD.
/layout
Layout name
Displays a named layout in a specified drawing file. Use the following format:
<path>\<filename>.DWG|<layoutname>
where the file name and the layout name are separated by a vertical bar character.
/ld
ARX or DBX application
Loads a specified ARX or DBX application. Use the following format:
<path>\<filename>.ARX
If the path or filename contains spaces, then the path or filename should be wrapped in double quotes. If no path information is included, the AutoCAD search path is used.
/s
Support folders
Designates support folders other than the current folder. Drawing support files include text fonts, menus, AutoLISP files, linetypes, and hatch patterns. The maximum number of folders you can specify in the path is 15. Each folder name is delimited by semicolons.
/r
Default system pointing
device
Restores the default system pointing device. It creates a new configuration file (acad2005.cfg) and renames the previous acad2005.cfg file to acad2005.bak.
/nologo
No AutoCAD logo screen
Starts AutoCAD without first displaying the logo screen.
/p
User-defined registry
profile for starting AutoCAD
Specifies a user-defined registry profile for starting AutoCAD. The selected profile is in effect only for the current session of AutoCAD, unless you make another profile current in the Options dialog box during that session.
You create or import profiles on the Profiles tab in the Options dialog box. With the /p switch, you can specify only those profiles that are listed in the Options dialog box. If the profile does not exist, AutoCAD uses the current profile.
/nossm
No Sheet Set Manager
window
Suppresses the display of the Sheet Set Manager window on startup.
/set
Sheet set
Loads the named sheet set on startup. Use the following format:
<path>\<sheet set data file>.DST
