Thank you for installing AutoProject for AutoCAD.

Please read this ReadMe document carefully and completely. It contains important information which is vital to the proper working of AutoProject for AutoCAD.

Since AutoProject for AutoCAD is a plug-in for AutoCAD, it has to be loaded into the AutoCAD environment before it can be used. Loading is a one time process. AutoProject for AutoCAD will automatically load itself into AutoCAD the next time you run AutoCAD.
