AutoCAD translates this to: Z:\CAD_Resources\Plugins\2025\myplugin.arx When deploying via SCCM or Intune, you can launch AutoCAD with a temporary override:
\\server\cad\deploy\ ├── 2023\ │ ├── Support\ │ ├── PlotStyles\ │ └── Plugins\ ├── 2024\ │ ├── Support\ │ ├── PlotStyles\ │ └── Plugins\ └── 2025\ ├── Support\ ├── PlotStyles\ └── Plugins\ Navigate to the user’s roaming profile: %AppData%\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2025\R25.0\enu\Support\Acad.rx autodesk autocad --env.acad release name-
When AutoCAD resolves this, it dynamically builds the path list based on the release name the user launched. Autodesk releases a new version every March. The --env.acad syntax has been stable since AutoCAD 2010, but the release name changes. | Marketing Name | Internal Release Name | env
| Marketing Name | Internal Release Name | env.acad variable value | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | AutoCAD 2020 | 23.1 | R23.1 or 2020 | | AutoCAD 2021 | 24.0 | R24.0 or 2021 | | AutoCAD 2022 | 24.1 | R24.1 or 2022 | | AutoCAD 2023 | 24.2 | R24.2 or 2023 | | AutoCAD 2024 | 24.3 | R24.3 or 2024 | | AutoCAD 2025 | 25.0 | R25.0 or 2025 | deployment images (IMG files)
Add the following lines:
This is not a command you type into the command line, nor is it a file you find in the Program Files folder. Instead, it is a logical construct used in scripting, deployment images (IMG files), and the (AutoCAD Runtime eXtension) file to force AutoCAD to load specific configurations, profiles, or ARX applications based on the release name of the software.
