Here you can download Design Manager installation files
Design Manager 2025.3.1 works with:
AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 2000-2025 (32 & 64 bit)
Inventor 2025 (64 bit) (64 bit does NOT work on Windows 8, Windows 10/11 is OK)
Notes:
1/ For new installations download the Design Manager setup and execute it. To specify folders select 'Choose Folders and Install'
2/ For existing installations use the Design Manager Update download.
3/ Release Codes are required to run these applications.
4/ For full functionality Design Manager requires the AutoCAD VBA enabler to be installed for the version of AutoCAD in use. Use the link below to download and install.
5/ If using Windows 7, 10 or 11 we advise you to run Design Manager and AutoCAD/Inventor as Administrator, you can make this setting in the Windows properties for the application under the Compatibility tab. Also turn off UAC.
6/ If the database files are on a Windows server make sure users have EXPLICIT ‘Full Control’ rights over the folder
Membership of a group with rights is not sufficient due to an anomaly with Windows Server and .DBF files.
7/ Application Caption setting for R2022 is AutoCAD 20
8/ OLE Object settings for older AutoCAD versions, use AutoCAD.Application.XX and substitute the appropriate number below for XX.X:
R14 = 14.0, 2000 = 15.0, 2002 = 15.0, 2004 = 16.0, 2005 = 16.1, 2006 = 16.2, 2007 = 17.0, 2008 = 17.1, 2009 -= 17.2, 2010 = 18.0, 2011 = 18.1, 2012 = 18.2,
2013 = 19.0, 2014 = 19.1, 2015 = 20.0, 2016 = 20.1, 2017 = 21, 2018 = 22, 2019 = 23, 2020 = 23.1, 2021 = 24, 2022 = 24.1, 2023 = 24.2, 2024 = 24.3, 2025 = 25
