When installing CADLock (RT or SE) I get a message saying that an AutoCAD configuration file can be modified. What do I do?
This is a known minor bug in the installation routine of CADLock 3.10 and 3.11, which occurs when the installation software tries to change an AutoCAD configuration file which for some reason has a null character (ASCII 0) character in it. It was fixed in version 3.12. If you’re using an earlier version, don’t panic! The installation routine is just trying to store the location of the CADLock directory, and if it can’t do so (or if you choose not to allow it to do so) there is an alternative mechanism built into CADLock itself. The first time you try to use CADLock, you will be prompted to find one of CADLock’s files. Navigate your way to the directory in which you installed CADLock and select the file. CADLock will then correctly modify AutoCAD’s configuration file so you will not be asked the same question again.
