Program Installation:
GTXRaster CAD Series 8.5 for AutoCAD 2005
The GTX Raster CAD Series 8.5 program installs as an application which works within one of the AutoCAD 2005 series programs. To begin, AutoCAD 2005 must be installed, useable, and registered within the Microsoft Windows registry for the local machine user who has logged in to install the Raster CAD Series program. The Raster CAD Series 8.5 installation starts from the GTX program CD, whether through the CD's Autorun menus or by exploring and running [GTX CD]:\RCADv85\Setup.exe. The Setup.exe installer will begin by displaying the following GTX announcement page and the InstallShield Wizard preparation window.
The following Welcome window allows the process to be continued or cancelled, terminating the installation:
Selection of the Next button from the previous window will open the End User License Agreement. If you accept the terms of the license, select the Yes button to continue the process. If you decline acceptance of the agreement select the No button and the process will terminate, ending the installation.
As mentioned at the beginning of this instruction page, AutoCAD 2005 must be registered in the Microsoft Windows registry for the local machine user who is currently logged in to the computer. The following message will be displayed if the GTX installation fails to find an AutoCAD registry entry. If this registry message appears, select the OK button and the installation will terminate. Run the 2005 ACAD.exe program one time to create the necessary AutoCAD registration, then restart the Raster CAD Series installation from it's Setup.exe program.
The Installation Options page offers a choice of operating modes for the finished Raster CAD Series 8.5 installation. If you have a HASP hardware key to support licensed use of the 8.5 product, select the Licensed version. Otherwise select the Demonstration version. The choice of a Licensed installation, which does not include the hardware key, will allow the program to run in Demonstration mode after the program fails to find a license.
For a licensed installation, the Program Level choice must be correctly selected. Information on which level of the program to selected may be gathered from the serial number of the purchased product. The first letter of the product serial number is intended to distinguish a license level, as follows:
The GTXRaster CAD PLUS serial number begins with PWC
The GTXRaster R2V serial number begins with VWC
The GTX Raster CAD serial number begins with RWC
The GTXRaster Tools serial number begins with TWC
For installation of a Demonstration version, without an issued serial number, the GTX program will serve in a Demo mode for whichever program level is selected.
The installed Raster CAD Series program files will be placed in the Destination Folder selected during the next step. The default folder is always as specified in the following window. An alternate folder may be chosen by selecting the Browse button and navigating to a preferred choice of hard drive partitions or folder names.
The Program Folder name, specified in the next step, will be the name seen in the Start>Programs list on your Windows desktop. This may be modified to a name of your choice.
As an application which works within AutoCAD, the GTX program's functions and appearance are defined in a unique AutoCAD profile. The GTX installation will automatically create a profile in the following steps. This completes the Raster CAD Series 8.5 installation.
