Configuration

 

Summary

After installation, loading the AseCivil.vlx into the AutoCAD Startup Suite, then opening a new or existing drawing will trigger ASE to configure itself and load the user interface. No other manual configuration tasks are necessary.

​​​​

Startup Suite: Auto-Loading ASE

Perform the steps below to make ASE Civil load automatically in every drawing opened by placing the executable in the Startup Suite. However, keep in mind that after initially loading the executable in the Startup Suite, ASE Civil is not ready to run until a drawing is opened or created. After initial configuration, the current drawing must be closed and reopened to auto-load ASE.

​

1. Type "APPLOAD" at the AutoCAD command prompt

2. Click "Browse…" in the "Load/Unload Applications" dialog

3. Click "Add…" in the "Startup Suite"

4. Browse to & select "C:\Program Files\AseApps\AseCivil17\AseCivil17.vlx"

5. Close all dialogs

​​​

Manual Loading

To load the ASE executable in the current drawing or if ASE failed to load on its own:

 

1. Using a file browser, locate the ASE Civil executable "C:\Program Files\AseApps\AseCivil17\AseCivil17.vlx"

2. Drag-and-drop the executable into the AutoCAD drawing editor window.

 

The ASE Civil application will load and is ready for initialization in a project environment.

​

​Permissions

After AseCivil.vlx has been placed in the Startup Suite, the first time it automatically loads itself in a drawing, AutoCAD will prompt you for permission to load the ASE executable and several of its .DLL dependencies. Grant permission to use ASE Civil.​

Next:

• CUIX Loading

Notes

[1]  If necessary, click the "Move Up" button so the selected ASE paths are at a level sufficient to ensure they are recognized by AutoCAD.

[2]  If the ASE command icons are not displayed as normal, colored images, adjust the position of the support path to a higher level in the list
