ReluxCAD is part of the ReluxDesktop package and will be automatically installed with it.
You require
administrator rights
, i.e. full access to all the system settings, in order to install the program under Windows 8/Windows 10.
Note:
Please note that for new AutoCAD installation, AutoCAD must be started
at least once for the concerned user for AutoCAD to complete its
installation. ReluxCAD can then be activated. A one-time start and activation of ReluxDesktop is also very helpful.
The
installation program now displays a window for you to select the
desired version(s) of AutoCAD if several AutoCAD Versions are installed
on the computer.
The button “Activate ReluxCAD” runs the application and starts AutoCAD.
Note:
Only an one-time activation is required.
ReluxCAD will be loaded every time AutoCAD will be started until it will be deactivated with the button
"Remove"
. The deactivation can also be done in the ReluxCAD "About" Box.
The next dialog prompts you to enter your licence number.
If you do not have a licence number, you can use the demo licence and test the program for 30 days.
The program will install automatically in the existing Relux directory.
After starting AutoCAD, you will see an additional menu and two toolbars. A number of systems will not display this menu automatically, however.
In this case, you should use the AutoCAD command "Tools" > "Customize" > "Menus" to have the menu shown on the screen again.
If you want to install the menu files manually you can install the Relux configuration file:
%APPDATA%
>
Relux Informatik AG
>
ReluxDesktop
>
ReluxCAD
>
Support
according to Autodesk instructions.
Hint:
Typing the command
"RLXT1"
in AutoCAD automates the loading of the partial menu-files and helps,
in most cases, when there is a problem with displaying the menus.
