1) BigFocus / DoubleScreen DOS - what is that?
================================================
BigFocus is SPEA's extensive function driver for AutoCAD 12 and 13 (DOS).
The BigFocus driver for DOS do not contain 3D functionality.
If you are interested in purchasing the full version then please refer
to your distributor and ask him for the product
" DoubleScreen DOS "
This software package is a double screen package for V7-STORM PRO PCI/VL
and the V7-MIRAGE P-64 or 2x V7-MERCURY P64 boards and includes the 3D
functionality .
2) Requirements:
================
This driver supports the following boards: Graphiti FGA and HiLite in
single screen.
Monitor Type
------------
This version of BigFocus is exclusively for use with multiscan
monitors.
3) What's new?
==============
- Online help
The online help for AutoCAD 12 (DOS) has been revised with
information concerning the latest changes. The online help for
AutoCAD 13 (DOS) has also been created and updated.
- New: Fit button in the Birds-Eye View window (BEV)
This button shows the exact location in the BEV, even if a very small
zoom area has been selected with the mouse. A click on the BEV returns
to the original view. Check the online help for details!
- Text window display output has been accelerated (up to 50%)
- Antialiasing
This function is currently not available.
- New: #LIST
This command can be seen as an extension of the AutoCAD _LIST
command. When called it executes _LIST and subsequently _GRAPHSCR.
This enables you to automatically return to the drawing after using
the _LIST command in the text window.
- AutoCAD command 'MULTIPLE'
Not a new feature, but a common cause of problems which is often
overseen. If you use the AutoCAD MULTIPLE command do NOT move or
use any of the SPEA icon menus unil you have completed the AutoCAD
command! Doing so may cause your system to hang (for reasons which
SPEA has no influence over).
- SPEACONFIG (Hotkey)
Doubleclick assignments (mouse) are no longer supported!
- Dual screen configurations with SPEA V7 boards: as of now, SPEA
supplies two 'SPEA DoubleScreen' packages:
(a) SPEA DoubleScreen DOS/Win
(b) SPEA DoubleScreen DOS
Package (a) contains two V7-MERCURY P-64 boards and the software
necessary to run this combination under AutoCAD DOS/Windows, Windows
and MicroStation.
Package (b) contains a V7-STORM PRO and a V7-MIRAGE P-64 as well as
the software necessary to run this combination under AutoCAD DOS.
4) Installing BigFocus for DOS:
===============================
1. Put the disk 'BigFocus' in drive A: and enter:
A:
INSTALL
According to whether you are using Rel. 12 or 13 version of
AutoCAD make your selection and follow the instructions on the screen.
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. Start AutoCAD again and select the following driver when choosing
the display driver:
SPEA FGA/HiLite ADI 4.2 Display/Rendering - by SPEA AG
NOTE :
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. Note that the Tutor window is no longer
available!
NOTE: Before you configure your digitizer please enter on the command line:
#logo_off
and after configuration
#logo_on
to avoid conflicts with BigFocus.
The following software is also available from the Media Gallery CD
(available from your national distributor):
- 3D-Win (3D-Viewer for AutoCAD for Windows Rel. 12 & 13)
- BigFocus 13/WIN for AutoCAD for Windows Rel. 13
