       is prohibited. This trial version is fully functional. After fifteen days of

       If you had installed an early version of CoolDUCT program,  please back up the original

       for  your own configuration.

        	   
       Installation
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~
       
       CoolDUCT is one of Open Source programs. To install CoolDUCT program, you must log in as
       an administrator and the User Account Control (UAC) must be turn off. After installation,
       you can turn UAC back on and use a standard account to run CoolDUCT program.

       Installing CoolDUCT program is simple. Select only one version of AutoCAD to start
       the installation. The program can be run on several versions of AutoCAD. However, 
       the block created by higher version of AutoCAD may not be inserted onto the drawing
       that is using lower version of AutoCAD. If you need to run CoolDUCT on different 
       version of AutoCAD late, just follow the procedure shown on "Step 2" below and 
       select the original location of "CDUCT-share" folder.
       
       Step 1 - Copy two folders

       Use decompression program to unzip the "CoolDUCT-LT-v2.0.zip" file into your local 
       hard drive. A new folder named "CoolDUCT-LT-v2.0" will automatically be created 
       on your hard drive. There will be two folders, "CoolDUCT" and "CDUCT-share" 
       inside the "CoolDUCT-LT-v2.0" folder.
 
       The "CoolDUCT" folder will contain all program files to be used by this computer. 
       Move out this folder from the "CoolDUCT-LT-v2.0" folder and save it on 
       local hard drive such as "C:\CoolDUCT". 
       
       The "CDUCT-share" folder  will contain all configuration files and standard blocks. 
       It can be shared with other computers which also run CoolDUCT program . 
       For network users,  the "CDUCT-share" folder can be saved on network server to 
       maintain the same drawing standard for all network users. Move out this folder from
       the "CoolDUCT-LT-v2.0" folder and save it on the roof directory of local hard drive
       or network server such as "C:\CDUCT-share" or "P:\CDUCT-share". You need to 
       specify the location of the "CDUCT-share" folder during the installation late.

       Step 2 - Add "CoolDUCT" folder location to AutoCAD's Support File Search Path...

       1. In AutoCAD, click on "Tools", then "Options"
       2. Click on the "Files" tab if you are not already there.
       3. Click on the plus (+) symbol next to "Support File Search Path".
       4. Click on the "Add" button, then click on the "Browse" button.
       5. Browse to and select the folder "C:\CoolDUCT" where all program files have been saved 
       (** ensure you do NOT select the "CoolDUCT-LT-v2.0" folder **), then click on "OK"
       6. Click on "Apply", then "OK" and exit AutoCAD program (* important).
       7. Start AutoCAD again and it will run the Coolduct installation program. 

       UNINSTALLATION 
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       To remove CoolDUCT program, first use the MENU command or type "UCDUCT" on command line 
       to unload the CoolDUCT menu. Then, in the Options dialog remove the CoolDUCT directory 
       from the Support File Search Path. Close all AutoCAD sessions and restart it again.

       To re-load CoolDuct program late, you need to use the MENU command to load 
       the CoolDUCT menu and add the CoolDUCT directory to the AutoCAD's Support File 
       Search Path again.
