ADI Driver's Installation Instructions


   STOP! Check your software.
         Is it AutoCAD R9 or R10 or R11 , or AutoShade 1.0 ?

         Check that your monitor is capable of displaying this
         resolution.


    1. Copy the appropriate driver from M3135 VGA Utility & Driver
        directory ACAD to your working AutoCAD directory.

    2. To load the driver, type:

             RD1K
        or
             RD86
        or   RD1K_256 ,or RD8_256 ,or RD6_256

      then answer the question to set an interrupt vector.
      The default interrupt vector is set at 07Ah.


    NOTE:
      1.) The ADI rendering drivers for AutoShade ver 2.0 are
          incorporated in these drivers.

          You must load the ADI driver into your computer's
          memory before you can begin working with AutoCAD.
          This procedure must be done whenever you turn your
          computer on or perform a warm boot. Therefore, you
          are suggested to place the command to load the ADI
          driver in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.




AutoCAD ADI Configuration


  Configuring AutoCAD is done with a menu driven routine that
  appears automatically when AutoCAD is first started.

  AutoCAD needs only be configured for the ADI Generic Driver once.
  Even if you turn off your PC or perform a warm boot, AutoCAD will
  still remember that the ADI generic driver has been configured.

  Follow the procedure described below to configure AutoCAD ADI.

  1. Install AutoCAD in your system according to your AutoCAD
     Installation and Performance Guide.

  2. When AutoCAD's Main Menu appears, select item 5,
     "Configure AutoCAD.", and press <Enter>.

    NOTE: This will be done automatically when AutoCAD is first
          started.

  3. After review your current configuration, press <Enter>.

  4. Select configuration menu item 3, "Configure Video Display",
     and type "Y" to select a new display.

  5. Type "1" to select ADI 4.0 or 3.0 ( R9).

  6. Follow the configuration menu and answer a series of questions.

  7. Finally, type "Y" and press <Enter> to save configuration.





Autoshade ADI Configuration


  When Autoshade is first run or if you want to reconfigure it, it
  will request information from you in order to properly configure
  Autoshade itself. Refer to Autoshade User Guide for details.

  During the configurating procedure, please note the following
  issues:

  1. When request for the selection of the Display Devices, choose
     "AutoDesk Device Interface Rendering Driver". i.e. select "1".

  2. When request for the selection of the Rendering Display
     Devices, also choose "AutoDesk Device Interface Rendering
     Driver". i.e. select "1".

  3. When you are asked a guestion: "Do display and rendering
     devices share a single screen?", answer:"Yes".
