Customized Autodesk Installations

When you are in the privileged position that you are managing multiple products that are all assigned to your users, then you may consider performing a custom install or a deployment. For more information, please see the Autodesk documentation on Custom Installations.

To start the process, open your Autodesk Account. Then go to the “Products and Services”

Within products and services, go to “Custom Install”. This is the area from which deployments are made.

Earlier versions are not available for all products. Consider AutoCAD. Only 2022 is available.

Compare Revit, for which 2022 and 2021 versions are available for deployment. Also notice that specific builds are available for Revit. This is important as the BIM Execution Plan may call for a specific built to be employed on the project.

For each product, there are many more settings available. For Revit, the paths for libraries, lookup tables, and templates can be specified.

There are optional components that can be specified. Instead of installing each of these independently, they can all be installed using the deployment.
