You can run CADWorx Plant from any network or local folder by manually creating or modifying a user profile and modifying the search paths in the profile.

CADWorx runs within AutoCAD or BricsCAD by using the AutoCAD or BricsCAD user profile command line switch, /P. A user profile shortcut is created when Plant is installed. For example, if AutoCAD is installed in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD folder, a shortcut is created for CADWorx Plant. The value of Target on the Shortcut tab of the Properties dialog box for the shortcut is:

AutoCAD: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD\acad.exe" /P "Profile Name"

BricsCAD: "C:\Program Files\Bricsys\BricsCAD\bricscad.exe" /P "Profile Name"

The acad.rx file is in the support folder. AutoCAD uses the acad.rx to load the Plant menus, toolbars, and panels.

The autoload.rx file is in the support folder. BricsCAD uses the autoload.rx to load the Plant menus, toolbars, and panels.
