TECH TIP #1:
Changing the Install Path

PROGRAM: Dayton on Disk 2000
OS: Windows
PROBLEM: If Dayton on Disk 2000 is installed in a path other than the default (c:\program files\DaytonOnDisk2000) the Dayton Icon Bar will not display the correct images and will display the AutoCAD default "Smiley face" icon. Also the Dayton programs do not autoload and will not launch when the Dayton icons are clicked.

SOLUTION: There is a file that needs modified to make this custom installation work.

1. With Notepad, open the file Dayton_LOM.MNL which is located in the AutoCAD2000 folder

2. Change the 6 lines to reflect your custom install path as shown below.
Default file structure:

---

;Set Paths
(setq PATH2BALL "c:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/ddball.dcl")
(setq PATH2VERSA "c:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/ddversa.dcl")
(setq PATH2SPRING "c:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/ddspring.dcl")
(setq PATH2DLF "c:\\Program files\\DaytonOnDisk2000\\")

(SETQ PATH2DP_DOCS "C:\"\\PROGRAM FILES\\DaytonOnDisk2000\\")
;Load Dayton on Disk "fast load" compiled Lisp Code
(load "c:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/DaytonOnDisk2000.fas")
(command "-linetype" "L" "Dayton" "c:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/Dayton.lin" "")

---

To configure Dayton on Disk 2000 to be installed in the folder:
D:\ program files\DaytonOnDisk2000
Make the following changes:

---

;Set Paths
(setq PATH2BALL " D:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/ddball.dcl")
(setq PATH2VERSA " D:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/ddversa.dcl")
(setq PATH2SPRING " D:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/ddspring.dcl")
(setq PATH2DLF " D:\\Program files\\DaytonOnDisk2000\\")

(SETQ PATH2DP_DOCS " D:\"\\PROGRAM FILES\\DaytonOnDisk2000\\")
;Load Dayton on Disk "fast load" compiled Lisp Code
(load " D:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/DaytonOnDisk2000.fas")
(command "-linetype" "L" "Dayton" " D:/Program files/DaytonOnDisk2000/Dayton.lin" "")

---

3. After making the changes, Save the file and Exit.

4. Re-launch AutoCAD.
