To Start the Program With Script

  1. Click local drive Applications Utilities Terminal.
  2. In the Terminal window, enter AutoCAD_LT drawing_name -b script_name
    Note: AutoCAD_LT listed above is the path to the AutoCAD LT executable. By default it is located at: /Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD LT <release>/AutoCAD LT <release>.app/Contents/MacOS/AutoCAD LT

    To start a new file, instead of a drawing file name, enter the -t switch and the name of a template file: -t template_drawing.

    The name of the script file must be the last parameter listed. The file extensions are optional.

  3. Press Enter.

    AutoCAD LT opens the drawing and executes the commands in the script file. When the script has been completed, the Command prompt is displayed.

Note: When using a switch option, you must follow the switch with a space and then the name of a file. For example, the following entry starts the program from a folder named AutoCAD LT 2014 with the drawing template arch1.dwt and executes a script filestartup.scr. "/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD LT 2014/AutoCAD LT 2014.app/Contents/MacOS/AutoCAD LT" -t /templates/arch1.dwt -b startup.scr
