Starting AutoCAD LT Using Command Line Switches

To start AutoCAD LT with a command line switch

2. In the AutoCAD LT Properties dialog box, select the Shortcut tab.
3. In the Target box, edit the parameters for the switch using the following syntax:

   drive:pathname\aclt.exe ["drawing_name"] [/switch "name"]

   Valid switches are:
