FAQ - Frequently asked questions about CAD4U(-XS) and CAMOD.
- Missing handle points during INSERT?
- Layertable overwritten or defective?
- Known limitations regarding BITMAPS and TrueType-TEXT
- An error message will be displayed everytime I start CAD4U(-XS)/CAMOD, even without loading a drawing
Difficulties while trying to find a drawing's handle point for selecting a drawing as INSERT? In this case you could either select the desired drawing by entering the relevant box position number or you LOAD the drawing and re-FILE it.
Since V.22.00.14 you may LOAD a drawing by BOX AREA instead of HANDLE POINT.
In case of missing handle points for a certain index position, a small BOX AREA in the bottom left corner of this index position will be active for LOADING.
Did you overwrite your layertable by accident or is the layertable file defective?
In this case you should download Layertables.zip from DOWNLOAD page, unzip the file and copy the LFT files to the target path described in the RTF document.
Known limitations regarding BITMAPS and TrueType-TEXT (since Version 6.x):
BITMAPS and TrueType-Text may NOT be transferred into other programs
via CLIPBOARD / DRAWINGDATA- or METAFILE.
BITMAPS, TrueType-Text and PLANE FILLS may only be output via PRINT or PUBLISH interface.
There is NO output via PLT-plotter driver possible for those bitmap-based elements.
An error message will be displayed everytime I start CAD4U(-XS)/CAMOD,
even without loading a drawing.
Eventually error conditions are filed into the default settings file and everytime you start
the program it also loads those error conditions. In this case, only a deletion of the
relevant file can help. No program re-installation required.
Try this:
Up to V. 2.32: delete the file *.DFT in the program folder.
From V. 3.32 up to V.5.01: delete WC_DEFS.BIN in the program folder.
With V. 5.02: delete WC_SETTINGS.BIN in the program folder.
Since V. 6.00: delete WC_DEFAULTS.BIN in the program folder.
Since V. 5.00.05 this can be done by the following feature:
SETTINGS / SAVE SETUP / OPTIONS / "Delete settings and exit CAD4U(-XS)/CAMOD"
Let us recommend again, that you backup your user data files.
Since V. 5.01.06 this is supported by the Backup-Manager in FILE / SAVE USER DATA.
