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
