05-24-2021 01:29

Trimble Novapoint GeoSuite Toolbox supports AutoCAD/Civil3D 2017, but for the moment this is not supported by the installation program. (up to version 15.2.2)

To use these Autodesk products in GeoSuite Toolbox You have to perform a manual configuration.

Before we start - check the properties for the shortcut You will use to start AutoCAD/Civil3D. Look for the path and filename to start AutoCAD/Civil3D - compare the picture below...

After installation of GeoSuite Toolbox - perform tha manual configuration by following these steps:

- Open GeoSuite Toolbox and choose Settings->Configuration file
- Look for section [SYSTEM]
- There is a number of parameters that should be set for use of AutoCAD/Civil3D
- Set the parameters shown below to corresponding values of Your AutoCAD/Civil3D installation:
- ACADEXEA="C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2017\acad.exe"
- ACADEXE="C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2017\acad.exe"
- ACADOPT=/ld "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2017\\AecBase.dbx" /p "<<C3D_Metric>>" /product "C3D" /language "en-US"
- ACADVER=21
- Save and restart GeoSuite Toolbox
- Check the properties of the shortcut for GeoSuite Toolbox. Make sure there is a parameter at the end of the command set to /ACAD=20. (NOTE! It should be 20 in the shortcut, but 21 in the settings file!)
