I - TIPS/ERRATA/FEATURES/REVISIONS
============================================================
- Rendering Resolution options will be available only when
configuring a Rendering device, not directly from the Graphics
Board/Resolution Menu as indicated in the Installation Guide.
Rendering options will appear when AutoCAD R12's AVE Render
is first configured or when configuring 3D Studio or AutoShade.
It may be necessary to reconfigure AVE Render by using the
RCONFIG command at the AutoCAD command prompt.
- For AutoCAD R12 setup, when installing TurboDLD Deluxe into a
subdirectory other than \ACAD\DRV, you must edit the ACADDRV
environment variable to point to the TurboDLD sub-directory.
For example, if TurboDLD Deluxe was installed into a sub-directory
on drive C: named TURBODLD, the ACADDRV environment variable would
look like the following:
SET ACADDRV=C:\ACAD\DRV;C:\TURBODLD
- When running at greater than 8 bits-per-pixel (256 colors),
setting physical colors via DLDCOLOR will have no visible
effect until an SAVE and EXIT occurs.
- For those persons with low CPU RAM and less than 20mb of available hard
disk space you should use the -SWAPCHK ON switch to configure AutoCAD.
This switch will give you the option of saving your drawing when AutoCAD
starts to run out of disk space. The way you configure this is to change
into your AutoCAD program sub-directory and at the prompt type:
CFIG386 ACAD -SWAPCHK ON
