For me, the Autodesk Uninstall Tool is my go-to method for uninstalling Autodesk software. So far as uninstalls go, that’s about it. It lets you effortlessly run multiple in-built commands on multiple drawings and it is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit AutoCAD. It comes from years of experience in AutoCAD and it is one of the AutoCAD productivity tools developed by. Instead, only delete the directories associated with the applications you uninstalled. The BatchInDatabase is a powerful and easy to use batch process tool for AutoCAD. IMPORTANT: Do not empty the above directories. C:\Users\YourUserid\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\.C:\Users\YourUserid\AppData\Local\Autodesk\.While the Autodesk Uninstall Tool automates the uninstall process, its uninstall process is the same as using the Add or Remove Programs functionality built into Windows.Ĭheck the following directories for residual files after successfully uninstalling your software: Important to note, both uninstall methods leave the same residual files behind. In fact, most Autodesk applications include residual files that remain post-uninstall. Although uninstalled, some traces of your uninstalled applications remain. No matter your chosen method, your selected Autodesk applications are now uninstalled.
Likewise, the number of chosen applications will impact your net uninstall time. A complex application like AutoCAD will take longer to uninstall than a small add-in. How long it takes to complete the uninstall will vary. Select the checkbox next to each application you want to uninstall, click Uninstall, and let the tool do the rest. Once opened, you’ll see a list of all installed Autodesk applications. You’ll find the Autodesk Uninstall Tool under Start > Autodesk > Autodesk Uninstall Tool. Instead, you can batch uninstall many applications at once.ĭespite the efficiencies it offers, I find few know about the tool.
With it, there’s no need to babysit the uninstall of individual applications. Its purpose is to let you uninstall multiple Autodesk applications at once. That better way is the Autodesk Uninstall Tool. This isn’t the end of the world, but it makes one question if there’s a better way?
With the Windows Add or Remove Programs, you must uninstall applications one at a time. While it gets the job done and technically works for Autodesk software, it’s a tedious process.
The typical way to uninstall Windows software is with the Add or Remove Programs interface. While a best practice, uninstalling old versions can be cumbersome. To keep everything under control, it’s best to uninstall old and unused versions each year.
Beyond that, we also tend to install new versions every year. Some might say we over-install Autodesk software. This extended access is excellent, but it means we tend to install more Autodesk software on our machines. Similarly, the AEC Collection provides access to more than a dozen software tools. For example, an AutoCAD subscription provides access to industry toolsets like AutoCAD Architecture. If that does not do it, open the Standard Views pallet and click on the first, Plan, icon.Chances are your Autodesk subscription includes access to more than one software product. Go to the top of your screen and click on the Standard View icon – World Plan, as below. Vertical and horizontal lines then appear just a little, (or maybe a lot), no longer perpendicular to the sides of the drawing.Īgain the solution is easy. People using TC in just 2D, who do not understand 3D, can sometimes when zooming in and out, press down slightly on their mouse and by doing so, slip just a little into a 3D view. Rolling your wheel mouse in and out zooms you in and out of the drawing, but if you press down on the wheel, then you go into 3D view. The only snag is that as it resets your styles, any customising of the screen will have to be re-done. Not being a technician, I have no idea what has happened here, but the first thing to try is simply to reset the styles. So you open TC one day and the screen looks different, maybe some tools has disappeared, or perhaps one of your keys is not working, (often this is the Delete Key). Below are two of the most common, both of which can be overcome simply and quickly – when you know how. Part of my job is answering the phone to users of TurboCAD in the UK who, out of the blue, have suddenly come across a problem that they do not understand.
