Installation

Installation occurs via the single installation .exe.

After starting the installation process, you will be advised that this is a two-stage installation:

  2. Another installation interface will display to install the AutoCAD OEM components. Click Install to proceed

Following installation, you will find the program Civil Site Design Plus has been installed and should include a shortcut to run the software.

First Time Running the Software – IMPORTANT NOTE
