DRIVER INSTALLATION FOR USE WITH AUTOCAD RELEASE 11, 12:
1. Copy driver (RCP_S3.EXP) to a convenient location.
The file INSTALL.EXE can be used to copy the
driver by first logging onto the desired drive and
directory then typing
A:\> install
Then select INSTALL's \Autodesk ADI4.2 (Protected Mode) \ menu,
press ENTER key and complete the installation.
INSTALL will copy the appropriate files to your default directory.
2. Set the environment variable ACADDRV=\to point to the
Aquila sub-directoryand load files into Aquila sub-directory as well.
Example:
ACAD 12 SET ACADDRV= C:\ACAD\Aquila\;C:\ACAD\DRV\
ACAD 11 SET DSPADI = C:\ACAD\Aquila\RCP_S3\
SET RCPADI = %DSPADI%
SET RDPADI = %DSPADI%
If desired, this command can be placed in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
3a. Set Acad device to Aquila 4.2\in the AutoCAD display device
configuration menu for AutoCAD 12.
b. Set Acad device to ADIP386 V4.0/4.1 Display\in the AutoCAD
display configuration menu for AutoCAD 10 and 11.
4. Select the desired mode from the list of available modes in
the ACAD configuration menu.
5. Configure options such as dual screen operation (if your system has
the capability), menu colors, Graphics Flip Screen feature, mouse,

being used.
