Running AutoCad on the Windows Virtual Desktop.

 

There are some minor configuration steps that need to be configured to run AutoCad to run on the WVD

When you launch AutoCAD, it still looks to that original account for some custom settings. Obviously this won’t work, and is why we have seen permission issues.

The solution is to perform a settings reset.

 

  1. Open the AutoCAD 2022 English folder from the start menu on the WVD
  2. Select the option thats says “Reset Settings to Default”

  3. When you click this, you get a message asking if you want to back up your previous settings. Because the previous settings are the corrupt ones, we don’t want to do this. The users should click “Reset custom settings”

  4. Once complete, you’ll get a message saying that the settings have been successfully reset. The software will then run what AutoCAD call “secondary setup”, which will configure the user profile correctly
