ARCHIBUS Smart Client

Enabling/Disabling ARCHIBUS Features for AutoCAD Products

You can enable or disable ARCHIBUS features for the AutoCAD programs installed on your machine. When you are working on drawings that are part of an ARCHIBUS project, you can enable the features; at other times when these features aren't needed, you can disable them.

To see the complete list of supported AutoCAD products, search for the "System Requirements for ARCHIBUS" topic in the System Management Help.

You can enable / disable ARCHIBUS features using the Smart Client Extension Enabler application, so that you do not need to launch the Smart Client to make changes to this preference. Or, you can enable/disable ARCHIBUS features using the Smart Client Preferences command.
