Aegis2 Installation in Non-Default Locations
Aegis2 and all components except the database default to the install location of
C:\Program
Files\KapLogic\Aegis2
. If you wish to install these in another location, you will need to specify this during
the install process (see
Section 2, Step M
). Once this is specified, the new default install location will be
stored for the installation of any future Aegis2 components or updates.
The exception at this time are the
PreReqs
files, as these can only install to the default location of
C:\Program Files\KapLogic\Aegis2
. These will need to be moved manually from that folder to any other
location.
Microsoft SQL Express 2005 and the database both default to the install location of C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server. If you wish to install these files in another location, you will need to skip
choosing the
Database
in the Aegis2 installer and use Microsoft’s own installer. This is
SQLEXPR.EXE
,
located on the install disc at
db\Content\SQLExpress
. Once this is completed, install the SQL Server
Management Studio Express tool (
SQPServer2005_SSMEE_64.msi
or
SQLServer2005_SSMSEE_x86.msi
), also located at
db\Content\SQLExpress
. You will use this tool to
restore the Aegis2 database backup,
Aegis220Model.bak
, located on the install disc at
db\Content\SQL2005
.

Maps
When deciding on the maps to be used in Aegis2, please consider the following:
1.9.1
Map Type
It is recommended that maps used be in AutoCAD format (DWG). This format will see the
maximum performance from the Aegis2 program. Many other graphical formats are supported
(BMP, GIF, JPEG, and PNG), but the available options in using these formats are limited.
1.9.2
AutoCAD Version
Aegis2 supports files from AutoCAD versions up to AutoCAD 2008.
1.9.3
Map File Size
The smaller the size of the AutoCAD map file, the better performance you will see from Aegis2. It
is recommended that map sizes remain below 1 MB. The larger the size of the map, the slower
the program’s ability will be to redraw maps quickly, leading to lags in scrolling, zooming, and
other features. The easiest way to decrease the size of an AutoCAD map is to strip off any layers
that you do not wish to appear when it is displayed in Aegis2. Aegis2 can handle up to 30 layers,
but we encourage having as few layers as possible.
1.9.4
Map Location
If you are importing or storing your map files on a remote server, make sure that you have the
proper permissions and network access configured for all of your workstations.
