Installing Manufacturer Graphics

Installing Manufacturer Graphics

The ArtiCAD system comes with a built in range of doors known as Standard Doors. This range contains an example of the most common types of door (shaker, wide shaker, slab etc) and you can then change the colours of the doors to suit.

You can also install manufacturer-specific door ranges. These can be downloaded from the Members Area under 'Graphics Downloads'

To Install the graphics:

IMPORTANT - Ensure that ArtiCAD is closed before installing any graphics. If ArtiCAD is open, an error will occur and the graphics will not install.

The graphics catalogue URL's, as well as their corresponding passwords, will be displayed on the screen and also sent via email once the process has been completed.

1. Depending on the security settings of your email program, you may be able to click on the URL and it will start downloading the installer. If you cannot click the link (or you click it and nothing happens) you will need to highlight the entire URL including the .exe on the end, copy it and then paste it into the address box of your web browser.

2. When the installer starts to download you will be given the option to either Run (sometimes Open) or Save the file. Click 'Run' or click on the downloaded file and click 'Run'.

3. The installer will automatically start once it has finished downloading. Follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted, enter the password supplied in the email, click next and then follow the instructions.
