You can run CADWorx Structure from any network or local folder by manually creating or modifying a user profile and modifying the search paths in the profile.

CADWorx runs within the CAD platform by using the user profile command line switch, /P. A user profile shortcut is created when Structure is installed. For example, if the CAD platform is installed in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD folder, a shortcut is created for CADWorx Structure. The value of Target on the Shortcut tab of the Properties dialog box for the shortcut is:

AutoCAD: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD\acad.exe" /P "Profile Name"

BricsCAD: "C:\Program Files\Bricsys\BricsCAD V17 en_US\bricscad.exe" /P "Profile Name"
