This is the READ.ME file for TurboDLD v2.2 It contains
information that has changed or is different from the Installation
Guide, as well as some other useful tips.
I. TIPS/ERRATA/FEATURES/REVISIONS
============================================================
Information for Windows Users
-----------------------------
This version of TurboDLD is designed to specifically support DOS
versions of AutoCAD 10/386, 11/386, 12, and 13, as well as DOS only
versions of 3D Studio. Panacea does not currently support Windows
versions of these products. Visit Spacetec IMC Corporation's web
site for information on 3D-I ALWAYS(TM) 3D Display & Motion Control
Add-On Software for AutoCAD for Windows 95 and Windows NT, and
Spaceware(r) Animotion(TM) for 3D Studio Max.
AutoCAD Release 10/386 & Release 11 Limitations
-----------------------------------------------
TurboDLD has the following limitations when installed for use with
AutoCAD Release 10/386 & Release 11:
1. Cannot use the "Text Window on Single" Pop-up Text Window.
2. Due to the manner in which AutoCAD Release 10/386 works,
the TurboDLD function DLDBPMODE, as well as the MACH-12
compatible ZI, ZO commands are not currently supported in
this TurboDLD release when using AutoCAD Release 10/386.
Font Selection
---------------
TurboDLD includes an array of fonts for AutoCAD menus and dialogs.
In addition to the Panacea supplied fonts, TurboDLD also supports
.BDF fonts. Primarily for foreign AutoCAD support. .BDF fonts are
usually public domain and are easily available through Shareware.
AutoCAD Release 12/13 includes various .BDF fonts
Please note that .BDF fonts are not supported for XGA and 8514/A
graphics boards. Only Panacea supplied fonts are available those
boards.
Enabling .BDF Fonts
-------------------
In order to enable .BDF font support in TurboDLD, you must either
start AutoCAD from your main AutoCAD sub-directory, or set the DLDFONT
environment variable prior to starting AutoCAD. Syntax of DLDFONT is:
SET DLDFONT = {FONTDIR}
where {FONTDIR} is the full path name to the sub-directory which
contains the .BDF fonts.
If DLDFONT is not set, TurboDLD will look for a \DRV directory
off of the default AutoCAD directory. If no .BDF fonts are found
in the DRV directory, then only Panacea supplied font options
will be available.
Choosing .BDF Fonts
-------------------
To use a .BDF font in TurboDLD, choose the Basic Configuration menu
"Select Font From List" option to display a list of available fonts.
The list will contain available fonts, limited by the settings of the
DLDFONT environment variable and the font filter chosen in the Basic
Configuration menu Select Font Filter option.
Limiting Font Selections
------------------------
If you have many .BDF fonts on your system and you wish to select only
a certain style of font, TurboDLD offers a filtering mechanism to allow
you to select only a certain types of fonts based on their internal
CHARSET_REGISTRY name or Code Page definition.
To select a specific .BDF font type, from the Basic Configuration menu,
use the Select Font Filer option and then select an available .BDF font
type. If you wish to see all installed fonts, choosse All Fonts. Your
font filter will be in effect when you select the Select Font Filter
menu option.
Font Size and AutoCAD
---------------------
When using a font size in which the height is more than twice the width
(i.e., 7x15) you may experience text and other display problems within
some dialogs. This is due to the way AutoCAD calculates display positions
using font character values.
Graphics Mode Text Window
--------------------------
Please note that the Text window on graphics screen works with AutoCAD
Release 12/13 only.
Text Window Caveats
-------------------
RCONFIG
-------
If TurboDLD is configured for "Text Window on Single" and
RCONFIG is used to configure AVE Render, you may have problems
selecting menu items. If this happens, type CTRL-C to exit
RCONFIG and return to the AutoCAD drawing editor. Then
reconfigure TurboDLD for "Single" screen operation and
then run RCONFIG again.
in R13, use of the "Text Window on Single" and doing an RCONFIG
may blank the selections in the side menus. They will reappear
after configuration is complete and you have hit the F1 key.
Random Characters in Menu Areas
--------------------------------
On some graphics boards, when TurboDLD is configured for "Text
Window on Single" random characters characters may appear in the
AutoCAD menu areas. If this occurs, configure TurboDLD for "Single"
screen mode. Do not continue to use the text window, unpredictable
results may occur.
Networked AutoCAD Installations
-------------------------------
On a networked AutoCAD Release 12 system, if the maximum number
of users is reached, an alert dialog box is displayed. When
using TurboDLD in the "Single" screen mode an abnormal AutoCAD
termination may occur instead of the alert dialog box. If you
think this may be a problem, configure TurboDLD for the "Text
Window on Single" option.
WCEdit
------
Elsa's WCEdit utility may appear to hang when TurboDLD is
configured for the "Text Window on Single" mode. In fact, WCEdit
has not hung - instead it is waiting for user input. When the
TurboDLD text window is enabled, WCEdit still thinks TurboDLD
is in a text-mode screen and tries to write directly to it. This
will not work. Press Ctrl-X to return to AutoCAD from WCEdit.
If you wish to use WCEdit with TurboDLD, configure for "Single"
screen mode.
AutoCAD Command Line Cursor
---------------------------
A "-" cursor has been added to the AutoCAD Command line to identify the
current AutoCAD cursor location.
New TurboDLD Command
--------------------
In some instances, lines may overwrite AutoCAD menu areas. To restore
the menu areas, you may either do a flip-screen to the text screen or
issue the new TurboDLD command DLDRESTORE.
Graphics Platform Specific Problems
-----------------------------------
ATI VGA Wonder
--------------
When using some ATI VGA Wonder boards in a dual screen system
configured for single screen use, make sure that you start
AutoCAD from the VGA screen. Otherwise, flip screens will result
in a weird combination of monochrome and VGA screens.
Monochrome Dual Screen Configurations
-------------------------------------
When using a monochrome display in a dual screen configuration it may
be necessary to start AutoCAD from the monochrome screen instead of
the graphics screen. This is especially true in cases where the
graphics display board also has a VGA chip on-board. To switch to
the monochrome screen type:
MODE MONO
at the DOS prompt. To switch back to the graphics screen, type:
MODE CO80
You may also add these commands to your AutoCAD start-up file for
automatic execution.
3D Studio
---------
In 3D Studio v3, selection of a display font larger than 8x14 at
640x480 resolution will cause 3D Studio to display a blank screen
which you cannot recover from. This is a limitation of 3D Studio.
If a blank screen occurs, delete 3DADI.CFG and then reconfigure
TurboDLD for an 8x14 or smaller font.
The PANA3DS.BAT file copied to your TurboDLD sub-directory during
installation is used for 3D Studio configuration. This file should
be run prior to starting 3D Studio.
For all versions of 3D Studio, rendering at color depths higher
than 256 colors is not supported. See the section on "Rendering
with TurboDLD" in the user's guide for more information.
DLDCFG and AutoCAD Release 12/13
--------------------------------
The DLDCFG environment variable is used by TurboDLD to locate its
configuration files. DLDCFG must be set for AutoCAD Release 10/386,
Release 11, AutoShade, and 3D Studio.
When using Release 12/13, however, DLDCFG is not required. TurboDLD
will look for its configuration files in the same directory as the
RCTURBOD.EXP file. However, if DLDCFG is set, TurboDLD will use
DLDCFG to locate its configuration files. This could be useful in
a networked environment to allow individual users of a network-based
version of TurboDLD to maintain their own local TurboDLD configuration.
Upgrading from DLD386 or MACH-12
--------------------------------
If you are using Release 12/13, you do not need to run DLD386's
FASTACAD.BAT first. FASTACAD.BAT sets four environment variables
including DLDCFG, DSPADI, RDPADI, and RCPADI. None of these
environment variables are needed with Release 12/13 and TurboDLD. If
you set these variables in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or a batch file used
to start Release 12/13, we strongly recommend that you remove them.
General Information
-------------------
If you have low amounts of 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 runs out of swap space. The way you
configure this is to change into your AutoCAD program sub-directory
and at the prompt type:
CFIG386 ACAD -SWAPCHK ON
AutoCAD Revisions
-----------------
Please be aware that there is a C4 revision to AutoCAD Release 13.
This version of TurboDLD does support this release.
Rendering Resolution Options
----------------------------
The Rendering screen configuration menu will be available only when
configuring the Rendering screens of AVE Render, AutoShade 2 with
RenderMan or 3D Studio.
Also note that TurboDLD is a combined Display/Rendering driver
therefore, you should select that option from AVE Render's
configuration menu.
Rendering Caveats
-----------------
When rendering to a viewport, unpredictible behavior may result if
your rendering resolution/color depth is set differently than your
display resolution/color depth. This could include incorrect colors
in the rendered image, corrupted displays, or unpredictible system
behavior. We recommend setting your rendering resolution and color
depth to the same as your display resolution and color depth.
Graphics Board Selection
------------------------
If your graphics board is not listed in the Graphics Board Selection
menu and you know which chip or platform your board is based on, you
may choose the Generic selection for that chip type. If you are not
sure which platform your graphics board is based on, please refer to
your user's manual or contact the board manufacturer for more
information.
Dialog Commands
---------------
If the AutoCAD Release 12/13 file and command dialog box usage is
disabled (i.e. setting CMDIA = 0 and FILEDIA = 0 ) and a drawing
with an unresolved XREF is opened from the text screen, an error
or system hang will occur. This is a bug with AutoCAD and ADI
drivers. To avoid this, use the Text Window on Single configuration
option.
Color Considerations
--------------------
In DLDCOLOR Object mode, when changing the background color, the
new background color is swapped with the old in order to eliminate
the possibility of having a Drawing color the same as the background
color, causing a blank screen.
Caution: Cursol should not be BG
Note: (Esc) then (A)di reset if get lost
You may change the highlight color selection for the side bar menus
using DLDCOLOR in Object mode.
Documentation Changes
---------------------
In "Chapter 4 - Changing Colors", p.4-2, the second paragraph should read:
"...change by moving the highlight box around with the arrow cursor
control keys and pressing ENTER..." You may use the up and down arrows
as well as the left and right.
