You may post-install or update CAD integrations at any time.

    An update may, for example, be carried out for the existing version of the CAD system or also after an update of an CAD system.

    CAD interface updates are occasionally made available as executable programs (*.exe) under "www.cadenas.de -> Service -> Download/Update -> update -> v9 -> cad-interfaces".

    For downloading, do the following:

    For a single workstation installation the update is now complete.

    Since for a Client-Server installation the dlls of the CAD integration are also located on the server drive, an action (e.g. dll new registration) only necessary in rare cases on the Client. At the next CAD new start the updated dll is usually directly loaded.

    [Note] Note

    If new Clients are added, they must register.

    [Important] Important

    Usually a deinstallation of old interfaces is not necessary. In special cases the respective information is given during installation.

    All configuration files of the respective interface under $CADENAS_SETUP/if<cadname>.cfg are overwritten during the update.

    The old configuration files are saved. They are now located under "$CADENAS/backup".

Checking the update

  1. Before starting the update process, check the currently installed version.
