02 โ€” Requirements

System requirements

ADSCivil runs on the CAD platform you already have. A machine you use for 2D design is usually enough; for large models, add RAM and use an SSD.

Operating system
Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit
CAD platform
A supported version of AutoCAD or ZWCAD
CPU
4 cores or more
RAM
8 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended for large models
Storage
SSD with at least 10 GB free
Activation
Per-machine licence key, issued by email

03 โ€” Activation

Four steps from download to running

B1
Download the installer
Choose the full installer or an individual module and download it to a machine that already has CAD.
B2
Install
Run the installer as administrator, and close CAD before installing.
B3
Send your machine code
Open ADSCivil, copy the machine code and send it to the support team to be issued a key.
B4
Activation
Paste in the key you receive by email, restart CAD and you are ready to go.

04 โ€” Troubleshooting

Common installation problems

Installed, but the ADSCivil toolbar is nowhere to be seen?

Usually either CAD is blocking third-party applications from loading, or the installer ran while CAD was open. Close CAD completely, run the installer again as administrator, then open CAD and check the list of loaded applications.

What does the trial limit?

The trial opens up enough functionality to evaluate the workflow and is limited by time. When it expires you move to a commercial licence without reinstalling.

Can the licence be moved to another machine?

Licences are issued per machine. If you change machine or reinstall the operating system, send the new machine code to the support team and the licence will be transferred.

Does ADSCivil run on ZWCAD?

Yes. ADSCivil runs on any DWG-compatible CAD platform; ZWCAD is an alternative to AutoCAD and is also available through us.
