#BRICSCAD V15 SERIAL NUMBER#
This was causing GeoTools and CADPower to read the serial number as 000-00000000 and therefore fail the license check based on serial numbers. Network license serial number is "acquired dynamically" during the startup process and is available only after the startup process is complete. In AutoCAD 2017, the network licensing mechanism has changed a bit. ** Improvement in AutoCAD 2017 license management of GeoTools & CADPower: The profile name is displayed at the start of the 3d polyline using a block called PROFILE_SECTION and the same is shown as an annotation in the cross-section profile also. The GT_PROFILE command will now label all the polylines with the ROUTE name sequentially so it will be now possible to track (and match) the profile cross-section with the planar 3d polyline. ** Enhancement: GT_PROFILE GeoTools -> Civil Tools -> Draw cross-sectional profile from 3D Polyline: Logging in as administrator is now mandatory also because the installer directly makes changes to the registry enabling 'Auto-Loading' of CADPower and GeoTools. In Windows 7 and later, the installer tells you that you are not logged in as administrator and provides you with the login credentials dialog box to enable you to login as admin and continue with the installation. Earlier, this was not mandatory and was resulting in permissions error when it tried installing in "c:\Program Files\DesignSense\GeoTools17_BricsCAD_EN" folder. *** Another another major improvement is that the installer now forces you to be logged in as administrator.
#BRICSCAD V15 TRIAL#
If you have downloaded an earlier version of CADPower-GeoTools and found that you could not work with it (probably due to incorrect or incomplete manual, confguration), now is the time to run the trial again and experience the all-new installer. I have checked in BricsCAD V17, V16 and V15. The automatic configuration works in BricsCAD V17 as well as V16 and earlier versions. I thank Owen Wengerd and Torsten Moses for their help in enabling this feature in the installation process.
#BRICSCAD V15 SOFTWARE#
This new improvement was long overdue and will make it easier for first time trial users as well as existing customers during software deployment. The dialog box giving you the instructions still appears and will be removed out eventually in subsequent releases. There is no need to manually go to 'Settings' and add the support folders as before. The CADPower and GeoTools files and menus/toolbars load up automatically after installation is complete. You now *DO NOT* need to manually configure the support path after installation. We have improved the installation and configuration process of the BricsCAD versions of GeoTools and CADPower significantly. *** Major improvement in V 17.21 installation/configuration procedure: GeoTools & CADPower for BricsCAD
