You can migrate your Bonus or Express Tools
from AutoCAD R14 or 2000 to AutoCAD 2002 and Mechanical
Desktop. The easiest way to do this is to simply go back to the
et2kq100.exe file that you used to install them if you downloaded
that file using your VIP account. If you do not have that file you
can follow these instructions from the Autodesk web site:
Issue
The Express Tools Library is not included with AutoCADŽ
2000i or AutoCADŽ 2002.
Solution
When you upgrade from AutoCAD 2000 to AutoCAD 2000i or
AutoCAD 2002, you can use one of
the following methods to migrate the Express Tools Library.
Method #1
Install AutoCAD 2000i before you uninstall AutoCAD 2000 to
ensure that Express Tools migrate
into AutoCAD 2000i or AutoCAD 2002.
Method #2
Create a backup of the Express Tools Library before you
install AutoCAD 2000i or AutoCAD 2002.
Use this method if you need to completely uninstall AutoCAD
2000 before you install AutoCAD
2000i or AutoCAD 2002.
Use this procedure to back up the Express Tools library and
then migrate the files to AutoCAD
2000i or AutoCAD 2002.
1.Before uninstalling AutoCAD 2000, make
backup copies of the following Express
Tools-related files:
express\*.*
support\acettest.fas
help\acetmain.hlp
help\acetmain.cnt
help\acetfaq.hlp
2.Install AutoCAD 2000i or AutoCAD 2002,
and reboot your computer.
3.Under the directory where you installed
AutoCAD, create a subdirectory named Express. For
example, if you installed
AutoCAD on the C drive in the c:\program files\autocad 2000i
directory, create the
following directory: c:\program files\autocad 2000i\express.
4.Copy all of the Express Tools files
from the express\*.* file that you backed up in step 1
into the new directory you
created in step 3.
5.Copy the acettest.fas file to the
AutoCAD support files subdirectory. For example, if you
installed AutoCAD on the C
drive in the c:\program files\autocad 2000i directory, the support
files directory would be
c:\program files\autocad 2000i\support.
6.Copy the acetmain.hlp, acetmain.cnt,
and acetfaq.hlp files to the AutoCAD Help subdirectory.
7.On the command line, type appload and
press ENTER.
8.Under Startup Suite, select Contents
and choose Add.
9.Select the acettest.fas file in the
AutoCAD support directory. This will cause this file to load
every time AutoCAD is
started. You may have to restart AutoCAD at this point.
10.Type expressmenu on the command line.
Note: The directories may vary slightly depending on the
version of AutoCAD and the folders
specified during the install.
The Express Tools menu will load automatically in AutoCAD
2000i or 2002 and the tool kit will be
ready to use.
