TurboDLDClassic
Configuration
After selecting the proper display device, the TurboDLDClassic driver configuration menu appears.
Setup of TurboDLDClassic requires configuration of its various operating parameters. These
parameters have been logically grouped into menus based on their interaction with AutoCAD. A quick
trip through each menu completes the configuration process. Context sensitive help can be obtained
by typing
[?]
at any menu option. Please note that the DLDSETUP.HLP file must be present in order
for help to appear. If you get an error message, be sure that the file DLDSETUP.HLP is in the
ACAD\DRV sub-directory (R12), or in the TURBODLD sub-directory (R11).
If at any point during the configuration process you want to change an item on a previous screen, just
press the
[Esc]
key to back up. Selecting
NO SAVE, EXIT
at the main configuration menu
returns you to the AutoCAD configuration menu without making any changes.
At a minimum, a graphics board and screen resolution must be chosen from the Select Graphics
Board/Resolution menu. If no display options are configured, the driver is automatically configured for
Generic VGA, 640 x 480 resolution at 16 colors.
Select Graphics Board/Resolution
The first menu, Select Graphics Board/Resolution, configures TurboDLDClassic for the graphics
board and display and rendering resolutions to be used. Prior to configuring TurboDLDClassic, run
the CLMode utility and check the first screen to determine which Cirrus Logic chip and how much
memory is on your VGA adapter.
