AutoCAD & MicroStation for DOS
AutoCAD for DOS
The MGA DynaView driver for AutoCAD supports AutoCAD 12 and 13 for DOS and 3D Studio.
To install, start the acad\install.exe program on the Matrox Installation CD-ROM. By default, the
install program copies driver files to the c:\mga\acadrv directory on your computer.
For instructions on setting up the driver for AutoShade and 3D Studio, see the Matrox readme.aca
file in the mga\acadrv directory. For more information on the AutoCAD MGA driver and on how to
use the DynaView for DOS features, see the MGA CAD Drivers Guide (see “MGA CAD drivers
online guide”).
MicroStation PC for DOS
To install the MGA driver for MicroStation 5.0 and MicroStation 95 (MicroStation 4.0 isn’t
supported), start the ustat\install.exe program on the Matrox CD-ROM. When prompted by the setup
program, specify the path where your MicroStation software is installed. The setup program copies
files to the drv subdirectory in this path.
For information on the MGA MicroStation driver, see the MGA CAD Drivers Guide. For more
information on the driver, see also the readme.mga file in your MicroStation drv subdirectory.

The MGA CAD Drivers Guide shows you how to set up and use MGA drivers for AutoCAD and
