Starting Carlson with AutoCAD or IntelliCAD
To start Carlson, use the icon which was created on your desktop
and in Carlson submenu under Start > Programs (or All Programs).
When you do so, CAD engine associated with Carlson is started with
a customized profile, which contains all of the setting changes
necessary to run Carlson. This profile prevents harmful conflicts
between Carlson and other CAD based products. The changes in menus,
toolbars and preferences will be saved in that profile for further
use. The CAD engine associated with Carlson is selected during the
installation of Carlson.
Custom Template Profile Name
The company with the internal CAD profile setup can specify the
desired profile name to be used as a template for setting up
Carlson 2020. The existing template will be copied and new profile
for Carlson 2020 will be created, changing minimal number of
settings required to run Carlson. As a result, most of the profile
will match company setup and no further customization will be
necessary.
Startup Module
The Carlson module that is loaded when the program is started is
set by the desktop icon. The Carlson install program creates
different desktop icons depending on how many modules are licensed
in your serial number. Under the Target setting in the Windows
Properties for the desktop icons, the SCSTATE setting controls the
startup module as follows:
SCSTATE=1 Survey
SCSTATE=2 Civil
SCSTATE=3 Geology
SCSTATE=4 Hydrology
SCSTATE=5 Underground Mining
SCSTATE=6 Surface Mining
SCSTATE=7 GIS
SCSTATE=8 Field
SCSTATE=9 Construction
SCSTATE=10 Point Cloud
SCSTATE=11 GeoTech
SCSTATE=12 Basic Mining
SCSTATE=13 Trench
SCSTATE=14 Natural Regrade
SCSTATE=15 CADNet
SCSTATE=17 Civil Suite (any module Survey, Civil,
GIS, Hydrology depending on last loaded)
SCSTATE=18 Mining (any module Geology, Surface or
Underground depending on last loaded)
