Upon returning, AutoCAD 2013 would not get past it. In the process of making my settings etc, the bad 2012 file must have been updated to the user cache before I closed AutoCAD last. It reads from there when looking for many files. What AutoCAD does is cache various files in a local structure called the User Cache, found in the default installation folder (C:\Program Files\Autodesk\…. I overwrote some other folders with more backups, but to no avail, restarts included. So I overwrote the entire roaming support structure with the backup, and started AutoCAD. One thing we started doing back when we were all coding and modifying AutoCAD heavily, was to back up the support folder, or even the entire enu structure, so that when (not if) we screwed it up, we could go OEM at a moments notice, with no down time.

We have found that with the very little alterations we make, it’s easier to leave that to be installed in its OEM location: We have all of our custom settings and apps in a separate global folder that everyone installs from, making new setups a breeze. I had already got all my custom setting added, and thought that while I did expect some problems, I would do things properly through the CUI interface later if needed.Īs a result of my brilliance 2013 would not load. I was installing AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013, along with Infrastructure Modeler, and decided to try hot swapping my CUI out from 2012.
