Installing AccuRender 4 on AutoCAD 2007/2008

SummaryThe original AccuRender 4 sr0 CD release of AccuRender 4.0 did not support AutoCAD 2007 or 2008.

The patch below is for XP users only.
Vista users who have a Ar4 sr0 CD, will need to call 206-545-7000 or email tech@mcneel.com for a new CD.

1. First you will need to run this patch before the pre-SR2 CD can be installed. (This file is a zip file that needs to be unzipped and then installed).

2. Install AccuRender 4 from the product CD that you were shipped.

3. Next you will need the AccuRender 4.0 Service Release 2 to enable AutoCAD 2007/2008 support. If you have an early version of AccuRender (Version 4.0.0 or 4.0.1 when you do the command AR4_ABOUT at the AutoCAD command line), download and install the SR2 updater from http://download.mcneel.com/accurender/4.0/sr

Or you can do the command AR4_CHECKFORUPDATES at the AutoCAD command line, which will take you to the download site automatically.

4. Open AutoCAD and type AR4
