4) Installing BigFocus for DOS and Windows:
===========================================
1. Put the disk 'BigFocus' in drive A: and enter:
A:
INSTALL
According to whether you are using the DOS or Windows version of
AutoCAD make your selection and follow the instructions on the screen.
(Only for floppy disk installation, does not apply to CD ROM install.)
2. At the end of the installation a file named RCSETUP.BAT is created in
your SPEA\GDC directory. This file sets the necessary environment
variable (SPEAPOP) needed by the BigFocus tools.
Call RCSETUP.BAT before you reconfigure AutoCAD itself.
3. WINDOWS:
Start ACADWIN, Select "File", "Configure" and when selecting the
display driver choose:
SPEA ADI 4.2 Display/Rendering - by SPEA AG
DOS:
Start AutoCAD again and select the following driver when choosing
the display driver:
SPEA P9100 3D ADI 4.2 Display/Rendering - by SPEA AG
NOTE (see also: RCSETUP.BAT):
If you have installed a dual screen configuration, then you can use the
following environment variables to determine the secondary board
to be force with the SPEA S3 driver.
To do this make the following entry in the RCSETUP.BAT file:
SET RCPADIT=..\ACAD\DRV\RCS3.EXP
Note for BigFocus for DOS:
If you have already installed a version of BigFocus and are using
this installation as an update, then the position of the SPEA icons
will be different to the last position saved when you restart AutoCAD.
5) Notes concerning your manual
================================
Please note that the manual included with this software only describes
the DOS version of BigFocus 12. The Windows version of the driver is based
on the same commands etc. of the DOS version. Some commands have a slightly
different syntax or function, which is due to the Windows environment.
Note that the Tutor window is not available under Windows.
Windows users can however refer to the extensive online help. The updated
documentation is in preparation and will be made available as soon as
possible via the SPEA Mailbox.
