Installation with AVEVA E3D Design1​.1

AVEVA E3D Design1.1 was distributed with the option of installing the previous version of ABSI, ABSI1.1. Although there should not be an interference problem, once the old ABSI1.1 has been removed, the user is advised to remove the equivalent lines from the end of the evars.bat and evars.init files to ensure that the correct environment variables are initialized.

For example: remove the following lines:

rem ---------------------------------------------------------------

rem Add AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface variables

rem ---------------------------------------------------------------

set BOCMAIN=%AVEVA_DESIGN_INSTALLED_DIR%

if exist "%BOCMAIN%Bocad_env.bat" call "%BOCMAIN%Bocad_env.bat"

If problems persist, remove the old Bocad application by hand from the following locations (as PML files may be defined several times)

Once all traces of ABSI from AVEVA E3D Design1.1.0 have been removed, the user must regenerate the pml.index for AVEVA E3D Design. Unfortunately, as this is embedded in a folder that the user cannot change by normal methods, it has to be done by an administrator. A PML REHASH ALL will not work. The administrator must copy the original pml.index file to the desk top, then edit it by hand to remove all the references to Bocad folders and files. The file must then be copied back into place as an Administrator to override the security settings.

Enter AVEVA E3D Design, the ABSI options on the main tabs will not be displayed, proceed with the installation of this release.
