Setup of TurboDLD
Classic 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 is 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 TurboDLD
Classic for the
graphics board and display and rendering resolutions to be used. Prior to configuring
TurboDLD
Classic, run the CLMode utility and check the first screen to determine which
Cirrus Logic chip and how much memory is on your VGA adapter.
•
Select Graphics Board - Selects the graphics chip being used
•
Select Display Resolution - Selects AutoCAD, 3D Studio and AutoShade main
display screen resolutions
•
Select Rendering Resolution - Selects AutoCAD 12, 3D Studio and AutoShade
rendering resolutions
Note:
When configuring TurboDLD
Classic's display options, the Rendering Board/
Resolution options described below automatically appear
ONLY when configuring AVE
Render, 3D Studio or AutoShade. Otherwise, the Display Board/Resolution options are
the only menu choices available.
Basic Configuration
Basic Configuration menu options set AutoCAD screen characteristics, number of text
lines in the command-line area, font size, and dual screen mode.
AutoCAD Text Lines
Selects the number of lines in AutoCAD command prompt area. The default is 3 lines,
but values from 1 to 10 can be specified. A number larger than 3 might be useful if you
are using this driver in a high resolution mode with small fonts, eliminating the need to
frequently swap back and forth between the text and graphics screens.
