This is the READ.ME file for TurboDLD v1.01. It contains
information that has changed or is different from the Installation
Guide, as well as some other useful tips.


                            NOTE:
                            ----
 To use the VORTEK drivers with AutoCad versions 11 & 12 you must install
 the 'VESA BIOS' drivers and these VESA drivers must be loaded before
 running AutoCad.

 To install the VESA BIOS drivers, insert the VORTEK-VL drivers diskette
 and run the install program by typing in the following commands:

                A:  (or B:)   [Enter Key]
                INSTALL       [Enter Key]

 Select the 'VESA BIOS' Drivers


   INSTALLATION PROCEDURE for the AUTOCAD DRIVERS:
   -----------------------------------------------

    This assumes that your Autocad directory is 'C:\ACAD'. If your directory
    is different, please substitute the correct path in the instructions
    below.


     1.Delete ACAD.CFG       in c:\acad

     2.Delete DLDSETUP.DAT   in c:\acad\drv

     3.RUN AUTOCAD from the root directory
          acadr12  -r         (-r = to reconfigure your config file)



    CHANGING DRAWING COLORS
    -----------------------

    If you wish to change the drawing colors issue the following command
    from the drawing editor:

      DLDCOLOR





I. TIPS/ERRATA/FEATURES/REVISIONS
============================================================

- When using TurboDLD with AutoCAD R12, it is not necessary to
run the FASTACAD.BAT file copied during installation. This file
is included for AutoShade only. Likewise the PANA3DS.BAT file is
used for 3D Studio configuration. TurboDLD will be found automatically
via the AutoCAD 12's ACADDRV environment variable. Please be sure
that ACADDRV includes the path to the TurboDLD sub-directory if 
you did not install the driver into \ACAD\DRV.

- Please be aware that there is a C1 revision to AutoCAD R12. This
revision corrects various digitizer and plotter problems.

- Rendering Resolution options will be available only when
configuring a Rendering device, not directly from the Graphics
Board/Resolution Menu as indicated in the Installation Guide.
Rendering options will appear when AutoCAD R12's AVE Render
is first configured or when configuring 3D Studio or AutoShade.
It may be necessary to reconfigure AVE Render by using the
RCONFIG command at the AutoCAD command prompt. Also note that
TurboDLD is a combined Display/Rendering driver therefore, you
should select that option from AVE Render's configuration menu.

- Erasing small objects may result in a few stray pixels being
left on the screen. Issue a REDRAW to remove them from the
screen.

- The PMODELINE width is as large as possible given the
current screen dimensions and font character size. If less
area is desired, switch to a smaller font size.

- There is no longer a Remove or Overwrite mode for the Display
List. TurboDLD functions as the Remove mode did in previous DLD
versions, eliminating flashing of erased vectors, without affecting
performance.

- For those persons with low CPU RAM and less than 20mb of available hard
disk space you should use the -SWAPCHK ON switch to configure AutoCAD. 
This switch will give you the option of saving your drawing when AutoCAD
starts to run out of disk space.   The way you configure this is to change
into your AutoCAD program sub-directory and at the prompt type:
        
        CFIG386 ACAD -SWAPCHK ON

- For additional information on the TurboDLD driver, issue the following
command from the drawing editor:

        DLDHELP

    A list of TurboDLD features will be displayed; press the F1 key to view
    more information on each command.
