Irricad Link For AutoCAD

IRRICAD Link - Full Install and Upgrade

For the IRRICAD Link installation we suggest that the user be given Administrator privilege, if they don’t have it already, for the duration of the install.  This will ensure that required registry entries are present and the User files will be accessible when logged in as the normal user.  Note that AutoCAD will also need to have been installed with Administrator privilege. Using the Admin password when installing for a normal user will not provide the required registry entries, nor will installing when logged in as Administrator provide the correct files in the Users folder.

If you have more than one version of the CAD application installed ensure you first run the version that is compatible with your IRRICAD plug-in before installing it. Running the CAD application prior to installing IRRICAD Link is also particularly important if you have just installed the CAD application. Close the CAD application before proceeding.
