Where do I customize my installation?
Click on the AutoCAD Mechanical band of the Install > Configure & Begin
Installation page of the Installer to reveal the configuration area. Optional
features are listed there, many of them pre-selected for installation.
What are content libraries and how do I install
them?
AutoCAD Mechanical provides content libraries with hundreds of thousands
of pre-drawn standard parts. Libraries are available for each of eighteen
countries, containing parts that correspond to the standards of those countries.
During installation of AutoCAD Mechanical, you choose whether to install
one or more of these libraries or instead use your own existing shared libraries.
If you choose to install content libraries, you select the libraries for those
country standards you need.
If later, after installation, you want to add or remove content libraries, you
do this by launching the Installer in maintenance mode and choosing Add
or Remove Features to select the standard content libraries you require. To
launch the Installer in maintenance mode, navigate from Windows Start to
the control panel for adding, changing, and removing programs. When you
select AutoCAD Mechanical as the program to change, the Installer will open
in maintenance mode.
How can I install medium resolution Material
Library images?
In addition to the Material Library images installed by default with AutoCAD
Mechanical, you may also install the Medium Image Material Library if you plan
to perform large renders or create close-ups of objects which require high
quality textures. Installation takes place after you've installed AutoCAD
Mechanical. When you invoke either the RENDER or RENDERCROP command
from within AutoCAD Mechanical, a task dialog will appear to provide an
opportunity for downloading the Medium Image Material Library.
