This page describes how to update that Design Master Electrical RT Add-in for AutoCAD.

Run the Installer

Download and run the installer from this link:

Design Master Electrical RT AutoCAD Add-in Installer

It is necessary to have AutoCAD closed on the computer you run the installer on.

Select the location you previously installed the software to. The default location will be named Design Master Software. Do not install it to the Admin folder.

None of your existing customization will be overwritten during the update process.

If you have previously had trouble with the standard installer, download and run the limited privileges installer instead:

Design Master Electrical RT AutoCAD Add-in Limited Privileges Installer

Installing an Update for Multiple Users

Install the update to the same location as where you originally installed the Design Master Electrical RT AutoCAD Add-in.

You do not need to close AutoCAD on the other computers with our software installed.

The next time a user opens a drawing in AutoCAD, the Design Master Electrical RT AutoCAD Add-in will be updated automatically. They will be prompted to restart AutoCAD if necessary.

Troubleshooting

If the update does not work, run the DM Electrical RT->Help->Installation Settings command. Confirm that everything is set correctly in the dialog box.

Install Type: If you are the only user, this should be set to Local. If there are multiple users, this should be set to Network or Laptop.

Network Install Folder: If there are multiple users, this is the folder you should use when you run the installer.

After confirming everything is correct, press the OK button. This will force an update of all of your settings.

Close AutoCAD, then run the installer again. This process will fix most problems you might experience when installing an update.
