Manuals nXt for AutoCAD

NXT for AutoCAD First time...

To load the new engine for the first time:

  • Appload the file "accurender nXt.arx ", or drag and drop it from explorer onto an open AutoCAD session.  You only need to do this once-it will demand load after that.
  • To run the new engine type: "ar5".

This brings up a very rudimentary control panel interface which is the working prototype.  It also displays an AccuRender palette which will contain the new interface-this is not working yet-you cannot render using this interface,  but you can still play with it and tell me what you think.

After getting AccuRender up and running, you may want to visit Getting Started for a closer look at the interface and workflow of nXt.

Help!  I have Autocad 2007 and I downloaded the program I think but I don't have the render pull down or anything.

Anyone have any ideas what I did wrong?

I have the ar4 beta application automatically loading when I start ACAD. I think it may be interfereing with AccuRender nXt.arx as ar4 initites a session but ar5 is unrecognized.

I had alittle trouble finding the file on my computer at first but after a search I located it and loaded it into ACAD 2007 without an issue.  My first impression is a good one, I like the sidebar nesting feature.  And I'm super siked that Object Properties is coming back!  I realize this is a rough draft of the interface but thumbs up so far!

Running Autocad 2009. I tried to appload "AccuRender nXt.arx" but got the dreaded "not able to load". Is there something I'm missing here? First time at trying to use nXt.

Today was my first day attempting to use nXt on an AutoCad Architecture 2009.

First impression: "I miss version 3.1..."

What happened to the great walkabout tool?  AutoCad's camera tools are not so great.  The old walkabout tool allowed me to adjust my view and get that "sweet spot" angle.

Not sure how much time I'll be able to fuddle around with this beta without full functionality.  

Overall, my day was unproductive.

hmm.

I'm using Autocad 2008 and I cannot see a way to appload "AccuRender nXt.arx". Every time I try the messages:"error: ARXLOAD failed", or "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2008\acad.exeUnable to load AccuRender nXt.arx file." appears. Is there any problem with the whole process? Please let me know, I'm eager to get started...

Hi,

There is problem from the begining, after downloading file and installation I can't find any idea how to use with my AutoCad 2008.

Please explain step by step how to install "AccuRender" and how to find in Autocad that engine for rendering.

Thank you

Where is the tool for getting the perspective view? (Picking Camera and Target points).  Please do not remove this feature, I have forgotten how to use Dview command because of the user friendliness of Accurender's walkabout tool.  If you could also return the "set to autocad view" feature that used to be included in the Accurender 3 version.  Also, I find that rendering quality of images is greatly affected by the use of dark colors or the use of bright ones.  For example, when I use charcoal grey floors, my lighter colored textures become lighter, but when I change the flooring to white or off-white tiles,  the same light textures become darker.   I hope you can correct this in later versions.
