Question
Paul,
I'm architect teaching at a tech center and my students always seem to get ADT2007 loaded with different on screen setups. What file do I copy to put into their set up files so that when we open the program we are all on the same page-literally? Or how do I make that happen?
Short of reinstalling each time, there's really no file you can open to make this happen. Perhaps you can write a script to load a basic workspace everytime ADT boots up. First you'd have to create a workspace and save it to each computer. Once the student loads up ADT, that would be the workspace that it defaults to if you had a script working that way. Or, you could just have them manually switch to it when you need to show them something. I think you can even make it so it's write protected a bit so it can't be overwritten.
Please let me know how it works out for you James.
Paul

| Comment | Thanks Paul, Even though I have been using AutoCAD, ADT, and ACA for some time now, it seems to elude me setting up a workspace that will consistently load for my students. When I am try to show them something on a Smartboard and they are looking at different screens, it is maddening. I will try loading a common workspace file in each machine. I also discovered jest yesterday that IT had some bad paths for some of my kids. -Fun and games. James | ||
