Standard LBNL Configuration (typically for onsite use):

This procedure assumes the user will log into the LBNL domain and automitically map engcad1:/net or engcad3:/net as the N: drive.

  1. Install ME10 from the CoCreate installation media. Specify 128.3.128.101 as the license server.
  2. Modify the file C:\Program Files\CoCreate\OSD_Drafting_version\customize.m to add the following line:
INPUT 'N:\ME10\customize.m'
  1. Optionally set the environment variable LBLPELOOK=1 to enable the high contrast ME10 menu picks.
  2. Optionally copy the shortcut: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\CoCreate\ME10\ME10 Dynamic Drafting Classic UI to the directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu. Preferably rename the new shortcut ME10 v11.0 for clarity and brevity.

Local Configuration (typically for laptop & home use):

This procedure assumes you have already installed and configured the license server on the local machine using codewords tied to a dongle or the LAN card. The N: drive does not need to be mapped for this configuration to work properly, once the files are copied over.

  1. Install ME10 from the CoCreate installation media. Specify localhost as the license server.
  2. Copy the directory N:\ME10\LBL to the local machine here: C:\Program Files\CoCreate\OSD_Drafting_version\LBL
  3. Copy the file N:\ME10\customize.m to the local machine here: C:\Program Files\CoCreate\OSD_Drafting_version\LBL\customize.m
  4. Edit this copy so that LOCAL takes precedence (i.e. make sure this line is later than the NET line) :
LET Mac_location 'LOCAL'
Also edit the references to C:\program files\CoCreate\ME10 to be C:\program files\CoCreate\OSD_Drafting_version, found in the Lbl_setup_path.
  1. Modify the file C:\Program Files\CoCreate\OSD_Drafting_version\customize.m to read:
INPUT 'C:\Program Files\CoCreate\OSD_Drafting_version\LBL\customize.m'

6.      Replace the following five lines:

IF (Lbl_os='PC')
  INPUT 'N:\ME10\defaults.m'
ELSE
  INPUT 'defaults.m'
END_IF

With this single line:

INPUT 'defaults.m'

 

7.      Optionally set the environment variable LBLPELOOK=1 to enable the high contrast ME10 menu picks.

8.      Optionally copy the shortcut: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\CoCreate\ME10\ME10 Dynamic Drafting Mixed UI to the directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu. Preferably rename the new shortcut ME10 v11.0 for clarity and brevity.
