Readme fr Advanced Rad Design V14.01 This readme cntains imprtant infrmatin regarding the installatin and use f Advanced Rad Design versins as described abve. This versin f Advanced Rad Design is available fr multiple CAD platfrms, including: - ARD V14 fr Civil 3D AutCAD Civil 3D (2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011) - ARD V14 fr AutCAD AutCAD Civil 3D (2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011) AutCAD Map 3D (2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011) AutCAD (2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011) - ARD V14 fr BricsCAD Versin 3.1x Installatin Instructins Yu d nt need t uninstall any previus versins f Advanced Rad Design. This installatin will install ver the tp f any previus ARD installatin. Licensing Changes This versin uses a new licensing system Infralutin Licensing. Yu will have a new Serial Number fr this versin, supprting ARD V14 acrss all CAD platfrms. The V14 license key will activate any ARD V14 acrss all platfrms (eg: ARD V14 n Civil 3D 2014 and ARD V14 nr Civil 3D 2011 will bth access the same license file). If yu haven't received yur serial (license) key via email, please cntact the Subscriptin Crdinatr. The license key is sent t the subscriptin manager at each rganisatin with active subscriptin. Imprtant infrmatin Data Backups In the Settings, users can specify an autmatic ARD data backup regime. It is strngly recmmended that users g t Rads Tab > Settings Panel > Glbal Drawing Settings > Miscellaneus tab in the settings frm and select the timing fr aut backups and tick n if it is desired t create a data cpy n startup f the prject. ARD 2013 and Earlier users: If yu currently use ARD 2013 r earlier versins, this versin will result in a data frmat change yu will nt be able t wrk with the data in an lder versin after pening. A cpy f the AdvRads-10 flder (which cntains all the data) is made when ARD V14 detects an lder prject, s yu can g t this backup by pening the <Drawing Name>-Data flder using Windws Explrer.

Imprtant infrmatin -.NET Framewrk 3.5.1 If yu're experiencing issues running Advanced Rad Design (i.e. yu receive an 'Unknwn cmmand' whilst running the sftware), ensure that Micrsft.NET Framewrk 3.5.1 is turned n. Yu can turn n Micrsft.NET Framewrk 3.5.1 by fllwing these steps... 1. Type 'Windws Features' in the Windws Start menu 2. Run 'Turn Windws Features n r ff'. 3. Ensure Micrsft.NET Framewrk 3.5.1 is turned n.
