QuestionI am using AutoCAD with a specialized third-party application. Is it possible to start CADRaster from this application?
AnswerIf needed, CADRaster may be run with AutoCAD LT95, LT97, LT98, R13, R14 started by other applications. To enable it you have to modify cadrpro(ltx).ini file in section [CADRaster PRO(LTX/32) General].
First change the AutoCADPath= line by substituting the path to AutoCAD (i.e. c:\ACAD\Aclt.exe) by path to another application and add a line AutoCADVersion= describing the used version of AutoCAD. The valid version descriptors are R13, R14, LT95, LT97 and LT98.
CADRaster by default adds command line option '/c config_directory' while starting AutoCAD. If your application cannot pass this options to AutoCAD, add line SkipConfigDir=1 to this section. The default value for SkipConfigDir= is 0.
If third-party application is registered in AutoCAD (AutoCAD R13 and R14 only) and starts using acad.exe with its own acad.cfg (or other configuration file) you have two possibilities to cooperate with it:
- Set ConfigDir= to point on a path to the required configuration file (SkipConfigDir=0);
- Add to CADRaster's ini file SkipConfigDir=0 and add '/c config_directory' as a run-time argument to CADRaster starter (where config_directory is a path to the required configuration file). Following applications were successfully tested:
Examples:
An example bellow shows the modifications necessary to run CADRaster LTX or PRO with AutoCAD LT97 and Genius LT for Windows:
file: cadrltx.ini
[CADRaster LTX/32 General] AutoCADPath=C:\GenLT95\genlt.exe AutoCADVersion=LT95 SkipConfigDir=1 file: cadrpro.ini
[CADRaster PRO General] AutoCADPath=C:\GenLT95\genlt.exe AutoCADVersion=LT97 SkipConfigDir=1 Note: For AutoCAD R13 one additional step is obligatory. By the first CADRaster starting after changes described above you have to re-configure AutoCAD to use CADRaster display driver.
