Using an ASCII text editor (such as Notepad), save the batch program to a file

named acadlt.bat. Be sure to change the drive and directory names to match

those on your system. Place this file in a directory that is on your system search

path (for example, C:\winnt). You can run this batch program using the Run

command on the Start menu or by double-clicking the file in Explorer. If you

saved the file as acadlt.bat, use the following syntax:

acltjobname

where jobname is the name of the job directory to make current.

Quick Reference

Locate Customized Files

Beginning with AutoCAD LT 2004, the location of some of your customized

files has changed. The reasons for the file location changes include the

following:

■ Limited user rights on a workstation. You can run AutoCAD LT as a limited

user. This means that you no longer need power user or Administrator

permissions to run AutoCAD LT once it is installed.

■ Roaming profiles. Roaming profiles allow you to log on to any computer

within a network and retain your user settings. Some files, such as your

personal settings and documents, follow you from computer to computer,

while other files, such as templates (including Publish to Web templates),

reside only on your system.
