Fabrication 2022 - Windows 11
« on: Mar 15, 2022, 17:34:02 PM »
Seems a New Windows 11 Update causes issues with Autocad/Fabrication and causes it to hang on load.

To fix I went to Virus Protection and  Exclusions and added "CADmepLauncher.exe" in Process to Exclude, once done it loads fine.

It opened fine with BitDefender, and Kaspersky, just something with the Latest Updates,  all was fine last last week until the updates.

Don't use CADMEPLauncher.

Lol I know, Appload Arx like always.
 
  But for the faint of heart wanted to put it out there. By the way windows 10 all updates are good. If in Windows 11 flip off real time protection that works also to launch.

Curious. Why not use CADmep Launcher? I don't use it as I was taught not to but never knew why. I start plain AutoCAD or MEP and use the takeoff command. Should I be using a different method?

My understanding is that you have to use the CADmep Launcher the first time to load the ARX.
Alternatively you can load the ARX once manually and that does the same thing.
After that I just launch AutoCAD and Takeoff.

you can just customize the AutoCAD shortcut to load the proper ARX at runtime.

Here's what your typical AutoCAD shortcut looks like....

Code: [Select]
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2022\acad.exe"  /product ACAD /language "en-US"
Here's what it looks like to load CADmep too...

Code: [Select]
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2022\acad.exe"  /ld "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Fabrication 2022\CADmep\CADmep24_1.arx"  /product ACAD /language "en-US"

Alternatively, you can configure it to load the Object enabler instead....

Code: [Select]
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2022\acad.exe" /ld "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Fabrication 2022\CADmep\CADmepDB24_1.dbx" /product ACAD /language "en-US"

After I'm done setting up Autocad on how I want it and Toolbars I need, I type "APPLOAD" the following comes up and I select the CADduct Arx I also make its on ICON and Profile.

Any Lisp you usually run can also be loaded into memory this way as well, so they are always loaded on Autocad Start

Thank you both. A day where I learn something is a good day.
