Check AutoCAD executable path in RunCad.properties

To ensure that commands such as the Edit/View File in Integration command from PLM operate correctly, the path of the AutoCAD application executable or batch file must be defined in the RunCad.properties file. This file is located in the following folder:

[INSTALL_DIR] Infor_PLMClients\DeProxy.

The following default entry exists in this file and should be adjusted to match your installation:

AutoCAD="C:\Program Files\ACAD2006\acad.exe"

In general, this entry is updated automatically during installation, but occasionally the installation process is not able to determine the required path.

If you run the Edit File in Integration command in the integration query tool, a copy of the PLM workspace is stored locally in the \...\<PDM client>\AutoCAD2006\work directory. To modify the file, you need to check it out.

Note: The information in the RunCad.properties file must always be put between quotes.

Note: For the Edit File in Integration and View File in Integration commands to work for AutoCAD, AutoCAD must be running and connected to PLM.
