Can I create custom desktop shortcuts? You can choose to create custom desktop shortcuts that use command line switches to specify several options when you start the program. For example, command line switches can be set to run a script during program launch, create a drawing based on a template or prototype drawing, or designate a workspace that should be restored on startup. For more information, see Customize Startup in the AutoCAD User's Guide. What happens when you choose to append or merge service packs? When you append a service pack, the service pack is applied to the current deployment only. Multiple service packs may be appended to a deployment. The service pack file is included in the deployment and the service pack is applied after the product is deployed. When you merge a service pack, the service pack is merged into the administrative image. Once merged, a service pack may not be removed from the administrative image. Multiple service packs may be included in a single administrative image. You can choose to append or merge service packs from the Include Service Packs page when creating a deployment. What is an administrative image (MSI) file? An administrative image is a collection of shared file resources created during the deployment process and is used by deployments to install the program to networked workstations. Service packs (patches) can be applied to an administrative image when you create the deployment. A .msi file is a Microsoft Installer file. What is the impact of selecting all products for the administrative image, and can I add products later? If you elect to include all products in your deployment, the administrative image will be larger. You should select all products only when you create multiple deployments from this image and prefer not to use the installation Can I create custom desktop shortcuts? | 87
