- AutoCAD 10/11/12 Installation Notes
- -----------------------------------
-
- To install TurboDLD, run the GO.EXE program from DOS. The GO.EXE
- will install the drivers into the proper AutoCAD directories. If
- you have changed your directories from default you will be
- prompted for the appropriate directories. A file called S64ACAD.BAT
- will be created in the directory that you have chosen as your install
- directory, C:\ACAD\DRV for AutoCAD 12 and C:\TURBODLD for AutoCAD 10
- and 11, by default.
-
- To select the newly installed driver run:
-
- ACAD -r from the C:\ACAD directory.
-
- Then select 3 to change the video driver.
-
- You will be prompted with a list of video drivers,
- select the TurboDLD Classic driver.
-
- * If you do not have TurboDLD Classic as a listed option then
- you may not have your AutoCAD enviroment variables set properly
- or you are out of environment space. Please refer to your
- AutoCAD manual for troubleshooting techniques.
-
- * Your refresh mode is set by using S64DMODE. If you have not
- already done so please run the DOS program C:\S64D\UTIL\S64DMODE and
- configure your monitor properly.
-
- For features and notes about TurboDLD please refer to the file
- READ.ME in the appropriate AutoCAD directory on your hard disk.
-
-
- DOS Installation Notes
- ----------------------
-
- Use the GO.EXE file to install DOS/CAD drivers, and Utility files.
-
- S64DMODE should be installed for all first-time operations. This program
- controls the frequencies sent to the monitor and will allow the high
- resolution and high color modes to synchronize correctly on your screen
- (for DOS only).
-
- Utilities
- ---------
-
- S64DMODE.EXE allows selection of text modes, video emulation modes, and
- monitor mode frequencies for all environments outside of Windows. Monitor
- timing information is saved to the S64DMODE.EXE file and is automatically
- loaded on power-up or reset.
-
- Users with monitors not conforming to the industry preset monitors
- provided can select the CUSTOM MONITOR option which allows selection
- of frequencies, sync polarities, and screen centering for each video
- resolution and color depth. Please consult your monitor manual for
- the exact capabilities of your monitor before selecting monitor
- timing. We strongly urge that selection of monitor timings in CUSTOM
- be made for all resolutions and color depths.
-
-
- TSR BIOS
- --------
-
- TSR BIOS can be used in a VESA Local Bus system if the system does not
- support video shadowing. GO.EXE will copy the TSR BIOS to the hard drive
- and modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT so that the TSR BIOS will be loaded into the
- system memory each time it boots.
-
- If the BIOS version is 1.1x, you must copy the TSR BIOS to the hard drive
- manually.
- 1. Place DOS/Utilities/CAD/NT Drivers Disk into the floppy drive.
- 2. Change directory to C:\S64D.
- 3. Type A:\PKUNZIP A:\UTIL S64DHPFC.EXE.
- 4. Modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT:
- C:\S64D\S64DHPFC.EXE.
- 5. Reboot the system.
-
-
