Install Guide

 

Step 1 – “Server Setup”

 

The term “server” includes:

§	a stand-alone computer with a single license

§	a workstation acting as a server for a small office

§	a dedicated server or a network attached storage (NAS) device.

 

Install the Land F/X block library, database, and menu files from the CD onto your server.

 

Note: You will need an Internet connection to validate your Support ID.

 

Follow the instructions, selecting the location where Land F/X will be stored. A Setup.exe file will be created within the LandFX folder in the specified location.

 

You will be asked if you want to launch the Workstation Setup:

§	Keep this box checked if: this is a single workstation or if this is a workstation doubling as a server.

§	Uncheck this box if: this is a dedicated server that will not double as a workstation.

 

Step 2 – “Workstation Setup”

 

You will not need the Land F/X CD for this step. From all workstations, close all AutoCAD sessions. Go to the folder LandFX on the Server, and double-click on Setup.exe file to launch the workstation setup.

 

Choose one version of AutoCAD for Land F/X. Only the settings of the Current User will be changed. We recommended you elevate the user to an Administrator, run the Setup as that user, and then demote the user.

 

From any one Workstation, start the Data Manager from the Land F-X Start Menu group, and click the “Update” button to make sure you have the latest version.

 

Repairing AutoCAD Settings

 

If you need to restore the Land F/X toolbars within AutoCAD, or if you need to configure a new version of AutoCAD for Land F/X, from the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel, select “Land F/X”, and select Change – you will be prompted to select a version of AutoCAD.

 

Removing Land F/X

 

To remove Land F/X, from the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel, first remove the “Land F/X” entry from all workstations. Then remove the “Land F/X Server” entry from the server.
