AutoCAD to CD

short answer, no you can't copy an already installed program to a CD and paste it into a different computer and expect it to work.

long answer yes it is possible, however you may have to amke a custom registy file that pastes the correct registys in the correct location on that differnet computer then erace those registies once you are done with it.

however if you know how to do that, then you wouldn't need to post on news group.,

therefore install acad on new computer and burn your custom lisp, macros etc etc to disk and relink them once it is installed on new computer.

best solution: get a laptop

hope this helps

I'd like to burn MY Acadia complete to a CD and

place an icon on the desktop that points to my CD.

In addition to Adam's reply, you wouldn't be able to run AutoCAD from the CD, anyway, because AutoCAD expects to be able to write to several of the ACAD subfolders during an operating session. About the best you could do without causing havoc at the other company's place of business would be to take your LISP routines, and possibly your menus (*.mnc files), on a CD and load them as needed. ___
