Multiple Configurations
If you use more than one pointing device or use different plotters, you can
set up more than one configuration file to make it easy to switch between
devices.
When you configure AutoCAD LT for a pointing device and plotter drivers,
the information you supply is recorded in a configuration file.
Typically, only a single configuration is necessary, but you may need multiple
configurations. For example, if you use a mouse for most of your work but
occasionally require a large digitizing tablet, you can set up your system to
handle multiple configurations rather than reconfiguring each time you change
a device.
The configuration file stores the values of many AutoCAD LT system variables
and the configuration options defined in the Options dialog box. If you want
different settings for these system variables and operating parameters, you
can save those values to different configuration files. For a list of the system
variables and where they are stored, see System Variables in the Command
Reference.
To take advantage of multiple configurations, you must set up AutoCAD LT
to use different configuration files. Use the /c switch to specify alternative
configuration files at startup.
