EVERYTHING, except a PERSONAL.MNS is kept on the network in a read-only directory. I have one place to modify and everyone is updated.


That is good if you are always connected to the network. I have a few users that are on laptops so this approach was not an option. The files needed to be stored on their local drive. :D

From what I gather, you are merely looking for a way to set the support path to a clients settings.

I would handle it like this:
1) Create a registry file for default settings for support path ONLY and each of the client settings you need to manipulate. Once these are created and debugged you should never need change them.
2) Create either a LISP or VBA that based upon user input or specific drawing path (if you sort your files in that manner) will merge the path with the registry.
I don't see it as being too difficult, but time consuming to set up. Imagine the time savings though, when it gets implemented.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the information. I think the means of doing something better
is a possibility. I just need to sit down and get things organized and set-up and tested. A combination of what Keith mentioned to have a stripped down registry entry and adding setvars in the start-up lsp routine. Cadaver has a good thing with his startup.lsp.

I will have more questions next week I am sure. I got a project going out
Monday so that means no free time this weekend :x

So goes life, right Keith...
I also asked you a follow-up question in our lineweight discussion a few topics down. You mind taking a look at that one. I need more advice
on how to deal with new and existing...

CADaver,
when your users switch profiles to get different settings, do you make them get out of AutoCad or are they switching profiles within the same session of AutoCad?

Could the profile be switched within AutoCad with say a button or quick key of some sort?
