Preparations before updating interiorcad 2008

|

All interiorcad installers install interiorcad completely. There's no need to install a previous version first. It is strongly recommended to install it on top of a plain vanilla VectorWorks 2008 installation though

If you want to install an interiorcad 2008 update on top of an existing interiorcad 2008 installation, please do the following steps before running the installer:

  • Visit the VectorWorks 2008 installation folder
  • Locate and open the folder "Plug-Ins". Locate and remove the folder "xg". This will wipe out all interiorcad 2008 plug-ins. Do not simply rename this folder as VectorWorks 2008 will scan all plug-in folders recursively.
  • In the VectorWorks 2008 installation folder, remove the folder called "interiorcad". This will not affect any of your personal settings. It's simply a template folder.
  • In the VectorWorks 2008 installation folder, locate and open the folder "Templates". Remove the "interiorcad (Imperial).sta" resp. "interiorcad (Metric).sta" files.

You can now run the installer which will recreate the files and folders you just deleted. Due to files and settings in your user folder, you will still get dated template, workspace and interiorcad configuration files. If you want to benefit from all the fixes the update provides, do the following additional steps:

  • Visit the VectorWorks 2008 app data folder. The path differs depending on the platform:
    • Mac OS X: /Users/Your Username/Library/Application Support/VectorWorks/2008/
    • Windows Vista: C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\Nemetschek\VectorWorks\2008\
    • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUsername\AppData\Nemetschek\VectorWorks\2008\
  • To get the updated template files, backup the folder "Templates" and rename it as "Templates old"
  • To get the updated workspaces, backup the folder "Workspaces" and rename it as "Workspaces old"
  • To get the updated interiorcad database, backup the folder "xg" and rename it as "xg old"

Now start VectorWorks 2008. We hope you enjoy the interiorcad update!

In certain circumstances, it is possible that the modifier keys will no longer work.

This is not an issue of VectorWorks or interiorCAD itselves but a common Mac OS X issue. You'll find a matching page in the Adobe Support database.
