As of version 5.30 (2009-02-06), the default Land F/X database is a MySQL database.
Legacy Visual FoxPro database installations (with a landfx.dbc file located in the LandFX\Data folder) should instead contact us for porting their install to MySQL.
The automated Workstation Setup is new as of version 6.63 (2010-05-12).
Download the file here:
Choose Save when promted
http://landfx.com/shadow/setup.exeand save it to the LandFX folder on the server overwriting the old version.
(if using firefox, please move it from your download directory ususally being your desktop)
For a new station, you can just run that Setup, and it should get any version of AutoCAD perfect for Land F/X.
For an existing station, you can run that Setup whenever you need to configure an AutoCAD version for Land F/X. Select either Modify or Repair, and you will be able to select an Acad version to configure.
What if it's not good? What if that installer won't run, or Land F/X is still no visible or operational?Well, here's the Manual solution:
1 Control Panel
In the Control Panel, under Administrative Tools, Data Sources, on the System DSN tab, is an entry for LandFX -- confirm that its Properties have the correct database server name, and click Test to test the connection to the server (note that the username and database settings are irrelevant).
2 AutoCAD Support File Search Path
In AutoCAD, right click on the command line, select Options -- the first tab is Files, the first entry is Support File Search Path. You need to confirm the LandFX folder is included in there.
3 AutoCAD Menu Group
Finally, you should be able to type MENULOAD at the AutoCAD command line, enter LANDFX.MNU into the filename box, and click the Load button.
