AutoCAD is a powerful software used by professionals in various industries to create 2D and 3D designs. However, some users may find the AutoCAD startup process to be a bit slow or unnecessary.

If you are one of those users, don’t worry! In this tutorial, I will guide you on how to turn off the AutoCAD startup process.

Step 1: Accessing the Options Menu

Step 2: Modifying Startup Settings

Now that we have accessed the Options menu, let’s proceed with modifying the startup settings:

  • Step 2.1: In the Options dialog box, navigate to the “System” tab located on the left-hand side.
  • Step 2.2: Under the “General” category, you will find a checkbox labeled “Automatically close Autodesk application window(s) during install”.
    Note: The exact wording may vary slightly depending on your version of AutoCAD.
  • Step 2.3: Uncheck this box by clicking on it to disable the AutoCAD startup process.
