DOS Prompt vs. Batch Files
You may run the SummaSketch drivers and utilities by typing commands at the DOS
prompt, or by creating batch files. Included are examples of running the
drivers/utilities from the DOS prompt, as well as sample batch files throughout this
manual. If you require additional information on batch files and how to create them,
refer to the DOS user’s manual.
Chapter 3: Autodesk Application Drivers
MM/SummaSketch Format Drivers
Use these drivers if you’ve configured AutoCAD for a real or protected mode ADI driver.
NOTE:
Summagraphics’ ADI drivers are less likely to encounter initialization problems when
shelling out of AutoCAD. Therefore, Summagraphics recommends using the ADI drivers
supplied on the Drivers/Utilities disk instead of AutoCAD’s internal drivers.
Summagraphics provides both a protected mode and a real mode driver:
DGPSUMMA.EXP
(protected mode driver) – Use this driver if you have release 11 or
12 of the 386 DOS extender version of AutoCAD and wish to take advantage of
AutoCAD’s protected mode capabilities.
DGSUMMA.COM
(real mode driver) – Use this driver with all DOS versions of
AutoCAD.
Installing the Protected Mode Driver for AutoCAD Release 11
1.
Copy the driver file from the diskette to the AutoCAD directory and rename it to
ADIDIG.EXP
. Example:
COPY A:\ADIDVR\DGPSUMMA.EXP C:\ACAD\ADIDIG.EXP
2.
Start AutoCAD. The main menu will appear on the screen.
3.
Select
