What does Encompass CAD install or modify during installation?

Encompass CAD is a very simple installation. Our Install Shield program installs some custom menus and files in their own folders (typically C:\ECAD), creates a desktop shortcut, and a new AutoCAD® profile. The profile is launched from the shortcut. Encompass CAD also installs Autolisp routines and support files. If you are a 20-20 CAP Designer™ user you may have minor issues since CAP does not create a profile. It assumes that it will be the only spaceplanning software installed whereas with Encompass CAD we do not make that assumption. The fix is to create a CAP profile and add that extension to your CAP shortcut. If you need assistance feel free to give us a call and we will walk you through the 5 minute process.
