This README file contains the following information:
1) BigFocus - what is that?
2) Requirements
3) What's new?
4) Installation notes
5) Notes concerning your manual
1) BigFocus - what is that?
===========================
BigFocus is SPEA's extensive function driver for AutoCAD 12 and 13 (DOS).
The BigFocus driver for DOS contains 3D functionality.
2) Requirements:
================
This driver supports the following boards: V7-STORM PRO VL/ PCI in
single screen.
For the double screen work you need the software packege
" DoubleScreen DOS "and MIRAGE P64 VL/ PCI .
Monitor Type
------------
This version of BigFocus is exclusively for use with multiscan
monitors.
3) What's new?
==============
- V3DSETUP, the configuration dialogue for the 3D-Viewer has been
fitted with various new options (3DS reading modes and parameters).
Check the online help for more details.
- 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
(Only for floppy disk installation, does not apply to CD ROM 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 P9100 3D ADI 4.2 Display/Rendering - by SPEA AG
NOTE (see also: RCSETUP.BAT):
If you have installed a dual screen configuration, then you can use the
following environment variables to determine the secondary board
to be force with the SPEA S3 driver.
To do this make the following entry in the RCSETUP.BAT file:
SET RCPADIT=..\ACAD\DRV\RCS3.EXP
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
