Note: Outdated graphic drivers might need updating.

Installation Notes (PREMIUM ONLY/ API)

1. DraftSight API C++ add-ins last compiled in DraftSight V1R2.0, or earlier, must be recompiled with the header files shipped with V1R2.1, or later, due to changes made to multiple signatures in V1R2.1. -> Impacts only C++ ADD-INS.

2. In V1R2.1, the DraftSight add-in config file folder has been moved from its current location:

C:\\Program Files\\Dassault Systemes\\DraftSight\\addinConfigs

to

On Win7 : C:\\ProgramData\\Dassault Systemes\\DraftSight\\addinConfigs

On WinXP : C:\\Documents and settings\\all users\\application data\\Dassault Systemes\\DraftSight\\addinConfigs

The location had to be moved because not all  users had writing permissions to the previous folder.

What this means :

For developers who plan to develop new add-ins : Their installers will have to install the config files to the new location.

For users who already have deployed add-ins with SP0 and earlier : They will have to move their add-ins to the new folder.

For developers who use the built in templates to build new add-ins : The config files will be created at the correct location.

The new location is also documented in the API help.

For more information download the DraftSight Premium Installation Guide.
