1 Introduction
This file explains how to install and uninstall POWERdraft
for AutoCAD 2000.
1.1 How to determine the driver's version number
There are several ways to get the version number of this driver.
1.1.1 Using the File Manager or Explorer
Open the properties of the file dselsa15.dll in your driver
directory with your File Manager or Explorer to read the version
string.
1.1.2 Using the command 'PdVer'
While AutoCAD is running with POWERdraft configured, you may
type the command 'PdVer'.
1.1.3 Using POWERdraft Settings
Open AutoCAD's Options dialog. The 'ELSA POWERdraft' tab holds
the current driver version.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Contents of Directory
The driver's setup directory contains the following files:
README.TXT this file
LIESMICH.TXT German version of this file
LANG15EN.HLP Windows help files in English and German
LANG15DE.HLP
SETUP.EXE Installation program for Windows
(all others) files needed by SETUP
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Installation/Uninstallation
3.1 Prerequisites
Please check the following list of requirements to allow
sucessful installation and usage of this driver.
- an ELSA graphics controller supported by
POWERdraft for AutoCAD 2000
-> See the top of this README for a list of supported
graphics controller/operating systems.
- actual ELSA Windows display driver
- AutoCAD 2000 already installed
- write access to AutoCAD's main directory and to the Windows
system directory
3.2 Procedure of Installation
Please make sure AutoCAD 2000 is not running.
* Installation from CD:
Start CDSETUP.EXE in the root directory of your WINNERware CD.
You can double click CDSETUP.EXE in the File Manager or
Windows Explorer.
* Installation from floppy disk:
The POWERdraft installation set consists of several floppy
disks. Start SETUP.EXE from the first one. During installation
you will be requested to insert the other disks.
* Installation from a separate directory:
The POWERdraft directory contains several subdirectories called
DISK<n>. Start SETUP.EXE in subdirectory DISK1.
3.3 Uninstallation
The install program records uninstall information in the
chosen program folder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Configuration
Setup will add the two icons
'Configure POWERdraft'
and
'Configure Original Driver'
to the program folder.
Using these icons you can configure either POWERdraft or the
original driver shipped with AutoCAD (Whip) as the AutoCAD's
actual display driver. After Setup has completed successfully,
POWERdraft is already configured.
To reconfigure the original driver, click on the 'Configure
Original Driver' icon, while AutoCAD is _not_ running. To do so
for POWERdraft, click on the 'Configure POWERdraft' icon.
If POWERdraft is configured, the ELSA POWERdraft logo will be
shown at AutoCAD's startup time.
