VCADD 6.0 Release Candidate Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the Release Candidate "crippled" with some features not available?
A: No, it is a full featured version of Visual CADD 6.

Q: What if I start using v6 with its new features and then the release candidate expires? Will I have to go back to v5 (or earlier) and lose these new features?
A: We will provide new versions of the RC (Release Candidate) until the final release of version 6.

Q: I'm having trouble understanding the new XML format for editing and creating customizable files like menus and toolbars. What is the best way to move forward?
A: XML is in wide general use. Do an online search for XML and you will find a lot of information to help you understand the format better.

For Visual CADD specific info, probably the best starting point for customizing the v6 files is to start with a v5 customization file and have the new configuration editor (on the Utilities menu) convert it for you. To do that, just start the editor and when it opens, select File>Open from the menu. Navigate to your v5 customization folders (e.g. System) and open the file that you want to convert. The editor will offer to translate the file for you. Once it is translated be sure to save it in the correct v6 folder.

Once you get used to the formatting (known as elements in XML) it will probably make more sense than the old ASCII text format, because with XML elements you have a "tag" around each entry that provides some explanation as to what it means.
