LBL SolidDesigner Customizations/New Version installation Notes

Environment Variables, the following environment variable should be set on the client computer.

 

  1. SDSITECUSTOMIZEDIR should be set to N:\CoCreate\sd_customize_8.01.
  2. SDUSERCUSTOMIZEDIR should be set to U:\sd_customize. This directory contains the user_filer_project_dirs file. It is also a good location to store the users pesd_customize file.

 

The following changes need to be made to the site_pesd_customize file to reflect a new version.

  1. DXF and IGES directory variables need to be set.
  2. The pesd.env load line needs to be modified to reflect the new version.  (unless (load-environment-file "u:/pesd_8.env"))

 

With the release of SD version 9 CoCreate changed the hp_symbols2.fnt file to represent italicized text. For consistency with our old drawings replace Annotation\binNT\ hp_symbols2.fnt with the non italicized version. A copy of this non italicized file is stored in the sd_customize_8.01 directory and is called hp_symbols2_save.fnt.

           

 

Prior to removing the old version of SolidDesigner export the customizations. Tools -> UI Settings -> Export Customizations. The destination directory should be U:\sd_customize. This directory is selected because it has been set with the

SDUSERCUSTOMIZEDIR environment variable.

 

In the users home directory:

            Make a new pesd_x.env file.
