CAD X11® Demo Software Guide
for Windows Vista, XP, 2000, NT 4.0 and 98
INTRODUCTION
The CAD X11® demo software is designed to give a first-hand look at and feel for how the software operates, the ease of use and flexibility of the software, and the types of drawings and 3-D geometry that can be created. It is intended for viewing purposes only, and is not for production use.
If you have any difficulty either installing or running this demonstration copy of CAD X11®, please contact GrayTech Software's Technical Support Department at (630) 682-4030 or Fax: (630) 682-0047 and an analyst will assist you.
SYSTEM HARDWARE
The CAD X11® demo runs on a VGA or better monitor, but a color monitor with at least 1024 x 768 resolution is recommended for production use of this software. The shading module requires a video card which supports a minimum of 256 colors. GrayTech recommends a medium to high performance graphics card. The demo software requires approximately 9 megabytes of free disk space.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
CAD X11® has been built as a Windows NT application and will operate under Windows Vista, XP, 2000, NT 4.0, or 98. One of these systems must be activated.
INSTALLATION OF CAD X11®
The CAD X11® demo software is easily installed using the Windows setup utility. The installation process creates a separate directory (C:\Program Files\GrayTech\CAD X11\ by default) for the CAD X11® files.
First download the self-expanding installation program CADX11Demo.exe. Next, double click on this program from Windows Explorer. This will invoke the setup program which will prompt you for the information required to load the software.
INTERACTIVE USE
To activate the software, select the CAD X11 icon from the GrayTech Demo Version program group. See the README file for basic definitions of the mouse buttons, keyboard function keys and the on-line calculator. On-line HELP can be chosen once the software is activated. Sample drawings are provided. Drawings ‘assembl’ and ‘fixture’ can be shaded by selecting ‘shading’ from the Tools menu. Download the file X11Data.exe for additional sample drawings. Saving and all output capabilities are deactivated in the demo software.
