Microsoft XPS Viewer, included in Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 6 or higher.

Refer to the document “TroubleshootingVirusScansWithAccuMark” for information about known issues


with certain virus protection software and other items that may prevent AccuMark software from installing,
running, or functioning properly.
The most up to date information on Virus Scanning interactions and malware can be found in the Gerber
Technology Technical Library. We recommend users and IT personnel who work with Gerber software
request an account on the Gerber Technology website to ensure access to the most current information
on all our software products.

Auto-Uninstall of Previous AccuMark software


If you run the installation of AccuMark version 10.20 or later and have a previous version of AccuMark
software, the installation will first remove the previous version. If your system does not meet the minimum
operating system requirements, do not proceed with the installation. You may return to a previous version
by re-installing that software.

If your system has trouble with the auto-uninstall, it is recommended to manually uninstall the previous
release using the Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel then proceed with the installation of the
new software (do not use the Repair option, this may not always work).

Page 5 of 67
Required User Permissions
There are many permutations and combinations of user permissions that an administrator can implement.
The AccuMark installation does not override security permissions (does not take ownership). Since an
administrator can create registry keys at most levels, it is required that a user with administrator privileges
perform all setups. You may want to check the permissions of AccuMark Family data and application
areas if users are having problems with data or programs.

The installation of AccuMark Family Products sets administrator privileges for the Users group to
AccuMark data (storage areas), its program directories and registry entries. Setting Permissions provides
the ability for non-administrator users to access Gerber data and applications.

The following lists the folder and registry locations where it is best to grant Full Control permissions for
users’ logins who will be running the AccuMark software (these locations are specific to AccuMark
environments and will not interfere with other company settings):

Folder locations:
 C:\userroot
 C:\acmkmrbin
 C:\program files (X86)\Gerber Technology (for 64-bit) -OR- C:\program files\Gerber Technology
(for 32-bit)
 C:\program files (X86)\Common files\Gerber Technology (for 64-bit) -OR- C:\program
files\Common files\Gerber Technology (for 32-bit)

Registry locations:
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\gerber
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\gerber (for 32-bit) –OR-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\wow6432node\gerber (for 64-bit)

NOTE: AccuMark 3D has additional hardware requirements, please refer to the Release Notes for
this product addition to view these.

Page 6 of 67
1.1. Additional Requirements

To keep the OS current with updates from Microsoft, on Windows 7 systems go to the Start Menu, select
All Programs followed by Windows Update then Install Updates. Note that this requires an Internet
connection.

Windows 8.1 uses a New Approach with the way such features as .NET are installed. For this reason, you
may need an internet connection to download files from Microsoft. On Windows 8.1 systems, you can
either type in “windows updates” then click on the link or select the down-arrow-in-the-circle to display all
apps, then in the Windows System section select Control Panel, then System and Security, then Windows
Updates and Check for Updates, and then Install Updates.

On Windows 10 systems right-click on the Start icon, type “windows updates” then click on “Check for
updates”. Note that this requires an Internet connection.

NOTE: Not all hardware manufacturers release drivers immediately for new operating systems. Please
confirm drivers are available for all hardware being used with your AccuMark system prior to upgrading to
Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.

To check for device compatibility, visit your device manufacturer’s website

Note: AccuMark software supports Windows 7 64-Bit operating systems starting with version 8.4.0. For
individual product restrictions/known limitations, please refer to the specific product’s Release Notes, for
example, the AccuNest or AccuScan Release Notes.

NOTE: AccuMark 3D has additional hardware requirements, please refer to the Release Notes for
this product addition to view these. Additionally, AccuMark 3D requires that the OS be 64 bit.

1.2. Windows 7 Folder Virtualization

Microsoft has changed where user account profile and program data gets stored. Instead of storing all
profile data under c:\Documents and Settings\ as they did with Windows XP, things are now split between
c:\Users\ and c:\ProgramData\ (on a standard installation).

Under User Account Control, Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 restrict portions of the Windows file system and
registry. UAC also restricts write operations during normal operation (i.e., standard user mode). For
example, applications no longer have unlimited access to C:\Program Files and C:\Windows. The system-
wide file system and Registry writes are automatically and silently redirected to per-user locations that
won't harm the wider system.

To accommodate existing software for Windows that writes to protected file directories, Microsoft provides
a backward compatibility technology known as Virtualization. Virtualization is often referred to as data
redirection because it functions by funneling attempted access to protected locations to new locations
stored under user profiles. For example, if a legacy application attempts to write to the Program Files
directory, UAC silently redirects that operation to an unprotected user-specific folder.

1.3. Customizing the Windows 8.1 Start Screen: Pinning AccuMark Applications to Start Screen
The Windows 8.1 operating system allows the user to customize their Start Screen in various ways. You
can select which applications are “pinned” or visible on the screen. You can also move the pinned
applications around on the screen by dragging them.

 From the Start screen, open the Search charm . Charms display when you move your mouse
cursor to any corner of the Windows screen. Select the AccuMark application you want to pin then
right click ”Pin to Start”.

OR

 Right click on the screen, and the task bar displays. The All Applications button can be selected to
display all installed programs.

Hovering over the taskbar will display other selections, allowing applications to be pinned, unpinned, or
uninstalled.

Page 8 of 67
NOTE: Only officially released Operating Systems (and updates) are supported.
AccuMark is not supported on any Technical, Advanced, or Insider Preview Operating System. AccuMark
is not supported as part of participation in the Microsoft Technical or Insider Preview community.

We recommend to avoid upgrading Windows 10 to Insider Preview builds, and only use them for testing,
on dedicated test machines as Microsoft preview builds are still in development phase and are not stable.

For example, a beta version of AccuMark software experienced an “Internal Envelope Error
E0003” error with Windows 10 build 10586. The prior Windows 10 build 10240 worked well.

If at any time you experience such a problem after an automatic update to Windows 10, while the
software performed without error before the Windows Update, rolling back an update may correct
the problem.

To determine which version of Windows 10 is on the system:


 Right-click on the Start menu
 Click on Command Prompt
 Type: winver followed by the enter key. You will see a dialog similar to this:

AM 10.0.0/10.1.0 SQL 2008 R2, and SQL 2008 R2 Express, SQL 2012, SQL 2012
and 10.2.0. Express, SQL 2014, SQL 2014 Express

It is highly recommended to install the latest service packs and updates for SQL and SQL Express.

Refer to the Microsoft websites for information regarding the hardware and software requirements for the
various versions of SQL. Localized versions of SQL Server are available and should correspond to your
local language version operating system. Verify that your operating system settings match the language of
the localized SQL Server or SQL Express being installed.

If you are storing data in a native language, for example saving AccuMark data items with Chinese data
names, then you will most likely need the corresponding version of SQL that can handle the language
characters. Consult the Microsoft documentation for details and specifications.

NOTE: SQL 2012 is not supported for AccuMark Family V8.5X or earlier
It is highly recommended to use the same version of SQL for all systems that will be accessing the same
storage areas for compatibility purposes.

Microsoft officially ended support of SQL 2000 in April 2013 (mainstream support ended 4/8/2008,
extended support ended 4/9/2013), so moving forward, new versions of AccuMark no longer support
using SQL Server 2000 or SQL 2000 Express editions.

Microsoft will be officially ending support of SQL 2005 in April 2016 (mainstream support ended
4/12/2011, extended support ends 4/12/2016), so moving forward, new versions of AccuMark no
longer support using SQL Server 2005 or SQL 2005 Express editions.

Using SQL Server and Express for AccuMark storage areas


AccuMark data can be optionally stored in SQL databases instead of or in addition to the userroot-type
storage areas. These SQL databases are equipped to look and feel the same as userroot storage with
several advantages:
Eliminates the potential for file-locking problems that can occur across networks as with userroot-
type storage areas
The recommended limit for data is up to 100,000 data items per data type

Page 10 of 67
Allows the ability to create sub-storage areas or sub-folders
Allows the ability to set allow or deny permissions to individual storage areas
Allows the ability to set read or write permissions to individual data types

 SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000 support was introduced for AccuMark version 8.1
o NOTE: MSDE is not supported in Windows operating systems newer than Windows XP
 SQL Server 2005 or SQL 2005 Express support was introduced for AccuMark version 8.2
 SQL Server 2008 or SQL 2008 Express support was introduced for AccuMark version 8.3.1
 SQL Server 2012 or SQL 2012 Express support was introduced for AccuMark version 9.0
 SQL Server 2014 or SQL 2014 Express support was introduced for AccuMark version 10.0

NOTE: Consideration should be used for using the Express versions. Having over 5 users access the
express version and you may start to experience slower response times, more than 20 storage areas and
you may start to experience slower response times.

NOTE: AccuMark SQL Manager application that allows you to set additional permissions or restrictions
on AccuMark data types may require the SQL Server Backwards Compatibility Components to be
installed. These components are needed for SQL 2008, SQL 2012, and SQL 2014 versions. For details on
how to obtain and install the backwards compatibility components, refer to the AccuMark document called
“SQLServer2005BackwardCompatibilityComponents” that is available in the AccuMark Training Docs,
AccuMark IT Manual, SQL folder.

NOTE: SQL storage areas Subfolders were implemented in AccuMark V8.2 and WebPDM 5.1 release.
There are enhancements in this software version that may need to update entries written by AccuMark
into an existing CAD relational database. If you are using an existing CAD relational database it is
recommended to run the “Sync Relational Data…” from the AccuMark Explorer File Options menu in the
Advanced Storage Area tab to update the relational database with these improvements. Newly stored data
entries will automatically populate these enhanced fields. Running Sync Relational Data ensures all
entries are current. Refer to the Training Docs Manuals documents for setup and additional detailed
information for the various SQL versions that are supported by the AccuMark Family of products. For
details related to the enhanced CAD relational database, see the document “RDBMS-
TableVariablesUpdated by AM” located in the AccuMark IT Manual\SQL\CAD RDBMS folder.

Case Insensitive Collation


SQL Servers for use as an AccuMark server need to be installed as a Case Insensitive collation (the
default) to work properly. If a case sensitive collation is selected (requires extra effort) the AccuMark
clients will have issues connecting.

By default SQL Server (in Latin languages) installs as a case insensitive collation, for example
SQL_Latin1_general_CP1_CI_AS. If the default collation is accepted, everything is fine. However if the
collation setting is changed to case sensitive, such as SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS at install time,
AccuMark will not be able to create storage areas, and will not be able to populate the CAD Relational
Database (RDBMS).

If a trace is done, the error shown will be: Must declare the scalar variable “@model_type”. This also
occurs for variables @marker_type and Return_Code. The issue is in the pGetCADCatID SQL script, the
variables are declared with a casing that differs from the casing used in the code. This causes a problem
in the case sensitive collation situation.

Please note there are probably other scripts with similar issues. A SQL trace will diagnose this issue
easily.

Software Installation Instructions
AccuMark software installed files have been consolidated into fewer folders, making the install simpler and
more efficient.

Installation methods
New starting with AccuMark V10.1 and continuing into V10.2 is the capability to use a silent install in
addition to initiating the installation through the autorun executable.

The new silent install provides the user with an installation with minimal user interaction. It will proceed to
install the selected software without prompting the user to answer or requiring them to continuously click
“Next” to continue. This makes for a swift “no answer” installation that can also be used with deployment
tools. For details on the new silent install, refer to the document “SilentInstall” in the Training
Docs/AccuMark IT Manual folder.

The following instructions are for the normal method initiated through autorun:

DVD
The installation for the AccuMark family will automatically run when the DVD is inserted. It will prompt to
automatically uninstall prior versions. If the installation does not autorun, then double-click on the
autroun.exe in the root folder.

SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD
The AccuMark software can optionally be downloaded from Gerber’s website. Go to
www.gerbertechnology.com click the "Software Downloads" link under the "Customer Support" section
from the Gerber Technology main page. Once you log in to the software downloads area, click on the
AccuMark link to see the list of software available.

You must unzip and extract all contents prior to installation (do not try to install from within
the zipped folder). The files should be extracted into a short path, if you get errors similar to “path
too long” then copy the files into a folder without such a long path name. Double-click the
"setup.exe" file to launch the AccuMark html installation page.

A link to GerberNet,
http://www.gerberscientific.net/GT/eService/SoftwareDownloads/SoftwareLibrary.aspx

Additional applications such as MTM, AccuNest, AccuScan, and AccuPlan are included with the
professional software media but must be installed separately, and are separate purchasable
items.

Security Key (dongle)


Be sure you have the new security key required for AccuMark version 10.2.0 before installing. This was a
new style key beginning with V10. If this is the first installation on the system, it is recommended to attach
the key after the software is installed. The HASP drivers for the new security are installed with the
software. Sometimes if you attach a new device onto your system before the related drivers are
appropriately installed, you system may try to find drivers on its own, and they may not work properly.

IMPORTANT!
Clock Date and Time
It is extremely important to check the date and time BEFORE proceeding with the installation of the
software. Turning back the clock once the software has been installed and running is strongly
discouraged!

Page 12 of 67
Installing AccuMark Release 10.2.0
IMPORTANT: Close any AccuMark Family related programs and processes before installing the software.
While the installation will try to close any currently opened AccuMark Family applications, its success may
depend on how your system is set up and allowed to terminate applications by non-user initiated software.

No Previous Version of AccuMark installed


Simply follow the Steps to Install below.

Previous Version of AccuMark 9.x or 8.x installed


If a previous version of AccuMark is installed, it will automatically be uninstalled prior to installing this
version of AccuMark software. A dialog box is displayed informing the user that the previous software will
be uninstalled when the current installation is started. Just the program files are uninstalled, any user data
or settings from previous versions will be preserved.

Steps to Install

1. Start the install:


a) From DVD: Insert the DVD for the AccuMark Family software into the DVD drive.
On most Windows systems setup will automatically start the installation when the DVD is
loaded. If you need to initiate the installation, click on the autorun.exe in the root of the
DVD or in the root of the extracted files.
On Windows 8.1 or 10 systems, you may have an additional prompt for DVDs that
appears in the upper right corner:

Simply click on the prompt with your mouse (even though it says “Tap” you can use the
mouse to select the prompt).
Then click on the option for “Run autorun.exe”:

Page 13 of 67
b) From Software Download: Extract the installation files.
You will need to extract all the files before proceeding with the install (you will not be able
to install from within the zip file).
It is also recommended to extract into a short folder path, otherwise you may reach
windows limitations for the lengths of the paths being used.
Locate the folder where the software was downloaded and saved to disk. Double-click on
autorun.exe to initiate the installation.

The AccuMark Family installation screen displays with choices for installing the different
products of the AccuMark Family.

3. Click the AccuMark icon to Install AccuMark software.


a) If you receive a message stating you are trying to install on an unsupported operating
system, first check the System Requirements to be sure that your system meets these
requirements. If your system is listed in the supported operating systems, then see the
section “Check Compatibility Mode”
4. Prerequisites: You may be prompted to install any required Prerequisites which are needed
for AccuMark software applications to run properly. AccuMark Family Prerequisites can
include Software Security Drivers or .NET software.
b) If you are installing the AccuMark software for the first time, or if you are upgrading from a
previous version you will be prompted to update the software security driver versions.
Select OK to continue with the required prerequisites.
c) If your operating system does not have .NET 4.0 installed, it will be installed for you.
5. You may select an alternate destination directory when prompted, or simply accept the default
folder.
6. For a standard installation select Typical. Selecting the Typical Setup type will assure all
required applications and files are installed.
7. Sample storage area(s) are installed with AccuMark version 10.2.0. IF these storage areas
already exist on the system, they will not be overwritten. If you wish to get new copies of these
sample storage areas, then you must first delete them before installing the software. The
sample storage areas are all userroot version 9 storage areas and include: 3D-DemoFiles,
3DSAMPLES, DATA90, SIL2000-V9.
8. The installation will launch a subsequent install for the Problem Report Utility for new
installations or if updates have been made to these applications. The Problem Report Utility
provides the ability to send electronic reports to GT.
9. On new installations a license agreement is displayed. Read and accept the terms of the
agreement.
10. The security permission program is started at the end of the install to set administrator
privileges for the Users group to AccuMark data (storage areas) and program directories.
Setting Permissions provides the ability for non-administrator users to access Gerber data
and applications.
11. You can optionally view the Release Notes and What’s New documents at the end of the
installation, which will open the Release Notes using an XPS viewer.
12. When the installation has completed, select Yes to restart your computer, if prompted.

The installation creates the C:\USERROOT directory structure, which contains the data, required by the
system. The default program files are located in the subdirectories under c:\program files\Gerber
Technology, unless a different destination is chosen during the installation.

AccuMark version 9 and higher allows you to create V9 Storage Areas and these areas display each data
item name individually. DO NOT use any application other than AccuMark to manipulate these individual
data items, including but not limited to using Windows Explorer to copy, move, delete, rename any
individual data item. DATA CORRUPTION and DATA LOSS will occur.

Security Key or Dongle


AccuMark Products use a hardware security key (dongle) to license and protect the software. Version 10
software will not run on a system that does not have access to a security key or a networked license
server.

The key for version 10 was new for that software version. Updating from a prior version required a
physical key exchange. For V10.2 a new license file must be applied to that key.

If additional features ever need to be added to the key, the key can be updated with an update code.
Instructions to update the key using a code can be found in a document located in the Training docs folder
on the DVD.

Standalone or Workstation Licensing


If you are using a workstation system with its own local security key, attach the security key (dongle) to the
parallel or USB port of the PC or workstation. Be sure that Fast User Switching is disabled for the
computers.

Network or Concurrent Licensing


Network Based License Security requires that the computer be dedicated to providing security for all the
licensed workstations. If you have network license server that provides security for AccuMark
workstations, be sure the server is set to a mode that does not “sleep” for power savings. The server must
be on and accessible at all times the workstations are using AccuMark applications. This includes all the
USB and parallel ports on the server as well as the server computer as well. (Port for the security key)

Failure of the server to maintain continual contact with the AccuMark workstations will produce
applications errors, security errors, and even possible data modification loss if the AccuMark is attempting
to store data when the connection is interrupted.

It is vital that the network license server maintain communication with the workstations so it must be
dedicated to providing this contact. Be sure other high processing demand software such as AccuNest,
AccuMark, MTM or Winplot software is not running on the license server as an additional AccuMark,
nesting or plotting workstation.

Page 15 of 67
All other high demand software including but not limited to communication software (Voice over Internet
server software or phone/messaging/voicemail software) also requires substantial computer resources
and should not be run on the Network License Server computer.

Failure to observe these guidelines will result in workstations losing connectivity to the licenser server.
This communication disruption will cause the AccuMark applications to have security errors and even
possible data loss if the disruption prevents data storage.

Be sure that Fast User Switching is disabled for the server and the workstation computers.

Check Compatibility Mode


If you receive this error when you click to install an AccuMark Family product software:

And your system does meet the system requirements listed earlier in this document, this check at the start
of the install is detecting that something is set to compatibility mode like for XP.

To fix this error, check if the executables may


be set to some compatibility mode. This could
have been inadvertently selected if the user
was prompted with something like “did this
program install correctly”.

To check if the installation executables are set


to an incompatible mode: check the properties
of the following executables: in the main folder
of the install -> autorun.exe, then in the
AccuMark folder -> install.exe and
setup.exe.

To do this, right-click on the .exe file and select


Properties. Then click on the Compatibility tab.
See if anything is set here in this dialog. If yes,
then reset it (you can uncheck the option “Run
this program in compatibility mode for:”.

If that does not work, you can try selecting this


option and then selecting your appropriate
operating system.

Click on "Change settings for all users" button.

If you're still having problems with the install,


then try the "Run compatibility troubleshooter"
and see if it comes up with any information.

AccuMark Software Interaction with Virus Scanning Software
AccuMark software installations in some instances have not proceeded as expected when interacting with
particular virus and malware detection software.

In some instances, the download or installation from a DVD had files quarantined so when the software
was installed, not all the executables or dlls were actually installed. In other cases the software installed in
its entirety but would not run because security programs blocked application launch.

If the error messages point to a missing file, the antivirus software may have deleted the application
executable, either from the GerberNet AccuMark Software download or after the install when the antivirus
software detects an unknown program.

In this case, the exe will have to be whitelisted before reinstalling the software. It may also help to disable
the antivirus program when downloading from GerberNet and also when installing the software.
Remember, if it is related to a file that was deleted from the download or from the installation, you need to
white list the installation source folder as well.

For future prevention, you can Google the antivirus software name like Kaspersky, with “report false
positive” and then go to the link on how to report false positives. Usually, only customers of the tool can
report the false positive. So, you will have to report the exe’s that are being impacted by your antivirus
software.

Create an exclusion for Gerber software

Be sure to check your virus protection software for specific instructions for making exclusions for Gerber
software.

You may need to make exclusions locally on the user’s system and update your corporate policy.

These folders should be listed as trustworthy in the antivirus program.


 C:\userroot
 C:\acmkmrbin
 C:\program files (X86)\Gerber Technology (64-bit)
 C:\program files\Gerber Technology (32-bit)
 C:\program files (X86)\Common files\Gerber Technology (64-bit)
 C:\program files\Common files\Gerber Technology (32-bit)

Be sure all exe’s that were impacted are included in the whitelist. This includes sil2000.exe, medpro.exe,
marking.exe, amxplore.exe and any others that appear in your error messages or Microsoft Event Viewer
Application logs. The AccuMark exe files are included in the above mentioned folders.

In addition to the issues outlined in the following section, as any Virus detection software
performs automatic updates, issues may arise that did not previously appear.

The Gerber Technology website has a Technical Library that is available for more information, including
any current updates to the following known issues. Users who have credentials to log in to download
software also have access to this documentation source.

https://www.gerberscientific.net/GT/eService/Default.aspx

Refer to the document “TroubleshootingVirusScansWithAccuMark” for additional details and can be


located in the AccuMark Training Docs\AccuMark IT Manual folder.

Software Status Update
Refer to the Configuration Notes and What’s New with AccuMark in the AccuMark documentation folder
for further up-to-date information relating to your software and installation.

Known Limitations
AccuMark V9 Storage Areas
Beginning with AccuMark version 9 you can create V9 Storage Areas and these areas display each data
item name individually. DO NOT use any application other than AccuMark to manipulate these individual
data items, including but not limited to using Windows Explorer to copy, move, delete, rename any
individual data item. DATA CORRUPTION and DATA LOSS will occur.

Maximum number of characters for SQL and subfolder pathnames


The user registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER subkey names have a maximum length for the whole path
of 260 bytes. Therefore the registry key cannot hold the maximum of 10 subfolders each with 20 character
names containing 40 bytes (maximum for Chinese subfolder names). You can still use the maximum of 10
levels of subfolders with shorter names.

AccuMark V9 Plot Files


Plot files generated from AccuMark version 9.0 and higher, especially in generic format, are not
backwards compatible. Therefore, these plot files should not be imported into storage areas from an
AccuMark system on V8.5 and lower. If the files are to be plotted on a plotter workstation, they should be
submitted using Winplot V9.0 or higher. If plot files are being created for Cutworks, be aware version 9
plot file support is available in Cutworks 7.0.1.10 or higher.
Also, plot queue management is of particular importance. If a mixed environment of AccuMark version 8.X
and 9.0 or higher is necessary during the transition to AccuMark version 9.0 and higher, the AccuMark plot
queue must be configured on a Version 9 or higher system.

If your plotter is attached to a plot only station with Winplot installed, be sure to update to Winplot V9.0 or
higher is present. If the plotter is attached to an AccuMark station, then ensure AccuMark 9.0 or higher is
installed on that pc. This will ensure all V9.0 systems networked to the plotter can see and use the
configured plot queues.

Export V9 Models / Pieces to V8


V9 storage area support point IDs ranging from 0-30000, and V8 storage areas support point IDs ranging
from 0-9999. In a piece in a V9 storage area has point ID(s) in the range of 10000-30000, when you
choose the piece or model to export to V8 storage area, it will fail to export and display the error message
“Error writing piece(s)” in the Export Results log. The message will be updated in the next release to
indicate the point ID range has been exceeded.

Configuration Error 1
Configuration error 1 may occur if the user does not have the adequate permissions to the AccuMark
folder and registry locations. Refer to the section about User Permissions for additional information and
how to set the appropriate permissions.

Configuration Error 2
If you are switching users on the same system a Configuration error 2 may occur. You should be able to
acknowledge the error and continue working with AccuMark software.

Office 365
Office 365 will not work with AccuMark Export Zip – Send to Mail recipient functions. The workaround is to
create zip files and attach to email outside of AM-Explorer.

Measure Charts with Multiple Tabs without MS Office
If using measure charts with multiple tabs on a system without a current version of Microsoft Office, the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components should be installed to avoid potential PDS
software crashes. The free download is available from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734

Scripts with Multiple Measure Charts with MS Office 2010


If using scripts with multiple charts on a system with MS Office 2010, the Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime
Redistributable should be installed to avoid potential PDS software crashes. The free download is
available from Microsoft:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39358

New model components only allowed in V9 storage areas


It may be possible to add a sketch to a model in a V8 storage area. However you will continuously lose
reference and the picture associated with the sketch.

Only models in V9 storage areas are allowed to contain the new sketch component. This is as designed.

Updates for the next release will not allow the user to add sketches to models in V8 storage areas.

AccuMark Explorer toolbar gets distorted


Somehow your address bar and filter text boxes get distorted and
are not easy to access:

To get back the arrows and expander bars in the Filter at the top
of AM Explorer, remove these two registry entries:
"DataTypesWidth", "FilterWidth" from the registry key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gerber\Amxplore]

Page 25 of 67
AccuMark 10.2.0
Changes since 10.1.0

A SQLupgrade is needed on storage areas created prior to AccuMark V10.0.0 to store image data. Users
with sysadmin permissions automatically perform the storage area upgrade upon the first connection to
the SQL storage area location.

Users who do not have sysadmin permissions are presented with an informational prompt to indicate a
sysadmin must update the storage areas. In prior software versions, if non-sysadmin users ignored the
prompt and instead tried to run check, “Upgrade Pre V8.2 to V8” or “Upgrade Pre V8.2 to V9” then issues
could occur with the display of storage areas/subfolders or data, although the actual AccuMark data is
present and untouched.

Updates have been made to implement additional checks for non-sysadmin users, preventing them from
running those functions on storage areas that need upgrading. Typical AccuMark users may need to
contact their IT department to arrange for a sysadmin to upgrade these Storage Areas prior to use.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE


Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. http://fsf.org/ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. This version of the GNU Lesser General
Public License incorporates the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented
by the additional permissions listed below.

0. Additional Definitions.

As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the "GNU GPL"
refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an Application or a Combined Work as
defined below.

An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the Library, but which is not otherwise based
on the Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
of using an interface provided by the Library.

A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with the Library. The particular
version of the Library with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
Version".

The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the Corresponding Source for the Combined
Work, excluding any source code for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the
Application, and not on the Linked Version.

The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the object code and/or source code for the
Application, including any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.

Page 65 of 67
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without being bound by section 3 of the GNU
GPL.

2. Conveying Modified Versions.

If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by
an Application that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked), then you may
convey a copy of the modified version:

a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an Application does not
supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful,
or
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License applicable to that copy.

3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

The object code form of an Application may incorporate material froma header file that is part of the Library. You
may convey such object code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated material is not limited to
numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates (ten or
fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:

a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its
use are covered by this License.

b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.

4. Combined Works.

You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict
modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging
such modifications, if you also do each of the following:

a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and
its use are covered by this License.

b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.

c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution, include the copyright notice for the Library
among these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this license
document.

d) Do one of the following:

0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, and the Corresponding Application
Code in a form suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to recombine or relink the Application with a
modified version of the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the manner specified by section 6
of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.

1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at
run time a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer system, and (b) will operate properly with a
modified version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked Version.

Page 66 of 67
e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required to provide such information under
section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is necessary to install and execute a
modified version of the Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the Application with a modified
version of the Linked Version. (If you use option 4d0, the Installation information must accompany the Minimal
Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.)

5. Combined Libraries.

You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side by side in a single library together with other
library facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this License, and convey such a combined library
under terms of your choice, if you do both of the following:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other
library facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where
to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address
new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library as you received it specifies that a certain
numbered version of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option
of following the terms and conditions either of that published version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Library as you received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General
Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.

If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General
Public License shall apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is permanent authorization for
you to choose that version for the Library.
