- GeoTools NOTES
- *************************************************
- This README.TXT file covers compatibility
- information, late-breaking news, and usage tips
- for the GeoTools software.
-
- The following topics are discussed:
-
- 1. Completion of GeoTools Installation
- --------------------------------------
-
- GeoTools is now almost installed except for a
- small setting that needs to be done under the
- AutoCAD Preferences dialog. We chose not to do
- this automatically as part of the installation
- program to enable you to configure your GeoTools
- exactly how you want it as we realize that you
- may be running multiple versions and / or multiple
- configurations of AutoCAD.
-
- In the "Preferences" menu, go to the "Files" tab
- and open the "Support files search path". Choose
- "Add" and "Browse", then point to the location
- where the main GeoTools application files are
- located. By defualt, the installation program
- would have installed this under the
- "C:\Four Dimensions\GeoTools" folder.
-
- There are various ways in which you may like to
- start your GeoTools program.
-
- 1. If you do not already use an ACAD.LSP, you can
- use the ACAD.LSP template supplied with GeoTools.
- This enables you to load GeoTools automatically
- when you start AutoCAD or will prompt you to load
- GeoTools with a "Yes/No" option. You can control
- this behavior by commenting the appropriate lines
- in the ACAD.LSP file as described in the ACAD.LSP
- file comments.
-
- If the loading was not done automatically upon
- AutoCAD startup, GeoTools can either be loaded or
- unloaded any time later using the GT_LOAD and
- GT_UNLOAD commands respectively.
-
- Alternatively, you can load and unload GeoTools
- using the "Load" and "UnLoad" options in the
- GeoTools menu.
-
- 2. If you already have an ACAD.LSP, you can
- either copy the contents of the supplied ACAD.LSP
- to merge with your existing ACAD.LSP or you can
- load GeoTools separately by first loading the
- loader program GT_LOAD.LSP and then using either
- the GT_LOAD or GT_UNLOAD commands to either load
- or unload GeoTools.
-
- To load GeoTools, browse to the file GT_LOAD.LSP
- (you can use the APPLOAD command to do this) and
- load it. This loads the GeoTools main executable
- GEOT.ARX (for AutoCAD Release 14) and GEOT.VLX
- (for AutoCAD 2000) and the GeoTools menu.
-
- GeoTools Online help and documentation
- --------------------------------------
-
- GeoTools online help is now accesible from within
- the GeoToools menu by clicking on the "Help..."
- item. This will bring up the help topics in your
- default configured browser.
-
- In case the help file cannot be opened automatically,
- please point to the file manual_index.htm and open
- it in your browser. This is the starting page of the
- help files from which you can navigate to the other
- help topics inside your browser.
