Configuration
Summary
After installation, opening a new or existing drawing will trigger ASE to load automatically, configure itself and load the user interface. No other manual configuration tasks are necessary.
Permissions
After Ase Civil has been installed, the first time it automatically loads itself in a drawing, AutoCAD might prompt you for permission to load the ASE executable and several of its .DLL dependencies. If prompted, you must grant the requested permissions in order to use ASE Civil.
