Problem

AutoCAD Captive Environment

User would like to turn on Captive environment for just AutoCAD and not other programs. The captive environment setting is all or nothing. He would like to keep his AutoCAD users from attaching xrefs from the desktop. Is there a setting for that?

Solution

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoCAD\ODMA32\Captive Environment]= "Disable"

This key is not delivered by default and if the key is absent or empty. It has the same effect as being set to "Disable".  If the value is set to "Enable" the 'Save to disk' and 'Open from Disk' buttons in the ProjectWise dialogs will be disabled. Captive environment does not
have to be set.
