SmartDraft Manual
The SmartDraft manual, in PDF format, is in the SmartDraft's installation folder.

Warning
Due to read-only issues in Windows Vista and Windows 7, we do not recommend SmartDraft be installed in the drv:\Program Files or drv:\Program Files (x86) folder.

Known Installation Issues:
1.	On Windows Vista and Windows 7, AutoCAD cannot read slide files from the Program Files (x86) folder. Install in the Program Files folder to correct issue
2.	SmartDraft help file is now smart.chm, for network installation, the help file cannot be read from the server. SmartDraft v8.5.17d now copies the help file to 
	the local users applications folder to work around this Windows limitation.
3.	AutoCAD 2010 menus. During installation the SmartDraft menu is installed, but the toolbars do not always appear. If you have this issue, copy the smart.mnr
	file from ww.smartdraft.com download page and copy over the one in the <SmartDraft installation> folder.
4.	On Windows Vista and Windows 7, the Bkeeper and Template folder are created in under the <SmartDraft installation> folder. If you installed SmartDraft in the
	default location drv:\Program Files\SmartDraft, these folders are read-only and no changes can be made. Workaround: Make a copy of the folders to a read-write 
	folder so edits can be made.
5.	On Windows Vista and Windows 7, the RACSETUP.INI in the <SmartDraft installation folder> cannot be changed via the SmartDraft Program Options if installed in
	the drv:\Program Files\ or drv:\Program Files (x86)\ folder. This file is used to instruct SmartDraft to look for the \Template files other than the default
	location. To edit the RACSETUP.INI file, copy it to a read-write folder, edit it, and copy the edited version back to the <SmartDraft installation> folder.

If you have customized SmartDraft to follow your own CAD standards, review these changes to the Customization Template and Style files and make any of the changes necessary to the files in your Customization Templates.
