-
- Thank you for purchasing 3D Design Plus! Please read this document which
- contains last minute information that is not in the User's Guide.
-
-
- INSTALLING THE APPLICATION
- --------------------------
- To install 3D Design Plus onto your hard disk, please refer to the User's
- Guide. Here are some things to keep in mind when entering the destination
- directory:
-
- * When the Setup program prompts you for a directory name, don't
- include the trailing slash. For example, use "C:\3DPLUS" instead
- of "C:\3DPLUS\".
-
- * Be sure to specify a valid path. SETUP will only create the last
- directory entry in the path. For example, the path "C:\MYDIR\3DPLUS"
- is only valid if "C:\MYDIR" already exists.
-
-
- USING A MATH COPROCESSOR
- ------------------------
- A math coprocessor makes 3D Design Plus run about 5 times faster. Geometric
- calculations, shading, and solid modeling all use double-precision floating
- point which is very CPU intensive without a coprocessor. If you work on
- large drawings, a coprocessor will be well worth the investment and make
- the program much more enjoyable to use.
