1. Requirements
Version 16 of cadwork is supported by Microsoft Windows XP (with Service pack 2) and Windows Vista
(recommended Service pack 1). Your hard drive should have enough memory; approximately 2GB should
suffice.

Please keep in mind that Windows and cadwork both require virtual memory (swap space taken from the
hard disk). For example, large production lists cannot be calculated if not enough memory is available.

With Windows XP and Vista, the virtual memory can be set up by the user. Depending on the number of
files that are open, the virtual memory should never exceed 3 GB. Look in the manual for your operating
system to find how to change the size of virtual memory. It is also imperative to be using Microsoft .Net
Framework 1.1 + Service pack 1 or Version 2.0. However, these will be installed during the cadwork
installation process if not already present.

It is required that the screen resolution be at least 1280*1024 pixels or better with more than 256
colors. The current system service pack as well as the newest updates should also always be installed.
There is a requirement of at least 1024 MB of RAM, but 2048 MB is highly recommended.

2. Installation
Attention! For Windows Vista, the installation should be started from the user account from
which cadwork will be used. Here the cadwork_setup.exe must be carried out as the
administrator. (If administrative rights are not available, Vista will ask for them).

The setup starts automatically after inserting the cadwork installation CD into the
CD-drive. Please select "Install cadwork" in order to install the software.

The default language is the language used by your operating system, but can be
changed manually as well.

After the first installation welcome window, the licence contract appears. Once you
have read and accepted this, you can confirm by clicking on Next..

Next, you have to choose the folder where cadwork is to be saved. Please leave the
name "cadwork.dir" and choose a path that contains enough memory. (C:\ or D:\
etc.)

Attention! For Windows Vista, cadwork should be installed in the standard program directory
C:\Program Files.t).

We recommend that Windows XP users install cadwork in: C:\Program Files\cadwork.dir

If the installation is an update, be aware to choose the same directory where the previous version of
cadwork is already installed. The path should be suggested automatically. Confirm this by clicking on Next.

 2. Installation suite
There is only one standard setup. Here you have the choice between with catalog or
without catalog.
By choosing without catalog, the installation of the catalog will not be suggested once
the cadwork installation is complete.

Choose any desktop shortcuts by checking the available boxes.

All the previous settings can be double-checked in a listed menu.

By clicking on "Back", changes to the settings can be made.
Once all settings are as desired, click on "Install" to launch the installation process.

The installation will take a few minutes.

After the installation of the program, the cadwork catalog is installed.

(Given that the with catalog option was selected earlier).

Next, choose the folder for the catalog:

Attention! Windows Vista users are highly advised to save the catalog on the User\Documents
path or in the public folder to have the required access rights!

Also here, the installation process will take a moment…

The program is completely installed. You can leave the setup by clicking on "Finish".
