Network Issues

This product is produced as ".NET Assemblies", in the form of DLL files that run in AutoCAD's process space. By default Windows Security will not allow you to load these from a network volume. There are two ways to set the security.

1. Code Access Security Policy Tool (Caspol.exe):

   This command line utility lets you quickly set polices. For example this statement sets the policy for the entire contents of a volume with a drive letter e: using a name of EDOTNET.

   C:\> caspol -q -machine -addgroup 1 -url file://e:/* FullTrust -name "EDOTNET"

   Additional information on CASPOL can be found on this Microsoft Page.

2. Control Panel:
   1. Start, Control Panel.
   2. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Microsoft .NET Framework Wizards.
   3. In the .NET Wizards window, click Trust an Assembly. The Trust an Assembly dialog box appears.
   4. Click to select the Make changes to this computer option, and then click Next.
   5. Click Browse. The Choose Assembly dialog box appears.
   6. In the Choose Assembly dialog box, locate the executable file on the mapped network drive, and then click Open.
   7. In the Trust an Assembly dialog box, click Next.
