We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi All,

Replying in case others run into a similar issue. First off, Thermal Desktop is not compatible with AutoCAD 2025, so first be sure that you are on a version other than that. From there if you still receive the quick flash then close issue, please edit the following file, "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v242\CRTech\Thermal Desktop\TdDwgLauncher.exe.config" (where v242 is whatever version you are on) and uncomment the line with the path to AutoCAD, something like this . Save the file and try running again.
