Manual Hookup Procedure
In the event the installation was not successful, the following procedure can be followed to manually set up the application. For your Platform listed above:
- Launch your CAD Platform application.
- Issue the NETLOAD command and browse to its cited Folder location.
- Based on your version of CAD, load the appropriate Module (DLL) file.
- If the application was not added to the CAD user interface:
- Issue the CUILOAD command.
Note: If there is an instance of the application already there, it might be the previous version and you can remove it.
- Browse to the cited Folder location.
- Load the cited Menu file(s).
- Issue the CUILOAD command.
- Issue the XL2CADVER command to confirm the application is functioning normally.
IntelliCAD Notes:
- An IntelliCAD build might have the Microsoft .NET Framework support turned off. In the event the NETLOAD command fails, issue the DOTNETENABLED command and enter ON. You will then need to close the CAD engine and restart it.
