Multiple Configurations

If you use more than one pointing device or use different plotters, you can

set up more than one configuration file to make it easy to switch between

devices.

When you configure AutoCAD LT for a pointing device and plotter drivers,

the information you supply is recorded in a configuration file.

Typically, only a single configuration is necessary, but you may need multiple

configurations. For example, if you use a mouse for most of your work but

occasionally require a large digitizing tablet, you can set up your system to

handle multiple configurations rather than reconfiguring each time you change

a device.

The configuration file stores the values of many AutoCAD LT system variables

and the configuration options defined in the Options dialog box. If you want

different settings for these system variables and operating parameters, you

can save those values to different configuration files. For a list of the system

variables and where they are stored, see System Variables in the Command

Reference.

To take advantage of multiple configurations, you must set up AutoCAD LT

to use different configuration files. Use the /c switch to specify alternative

configuration files at startup.
