Using GlobalPKG's RSCCAD

    Download the setup program (Apprx 12Mb) and install all of the main components into your IntelliCAD directory.

    The RSC CAD program consists of three main parts and several other supplementary files. All of these files must be copied into your CAD program's main directory for the program to work. See below:

    1. RSC.chm - The Help file.

    2. GPKGRSC.exe - A windows program that helps you customize the RSC CAD program to match your own preferences for board allowances, units of measurement, etc.

    3. GPKG.lsp - The main LISP program that will produce any RSC type drawing, when run from within your CAD application.

    Additional files that are required are:

    GPKG.mdb - Database

    ALLOW.lsp - Allowance details created by the "GPKGRSC.exe" application and used by the AutoLISP files.

    GPKG.icm - Menu file (only needed when used with IntelliCAD program).

    ICAD.lsp - Auto-load program for the menu file (only needed when used with IntelliCAD program).

    dflt.dcl, flt.lsp, inpbox.dcl, gpkgstr.dcl, gpkg.dcl - Additional files used by the AutoLISP files.

    After you have copied all of the files into your CAD program's main directory you are ready to begin.

IntelliCAD

    If you are using IntelliCAD then a new menu should appear called "GlobalPKG". It will have two options: 

    Slotted Design - Creates RSC type designs.

    Flute Direction - Adds a flute direction symbol to the drawing.

    Using Other CAD Programs

    While it has been impossible to test RSC CAD with all AutoLISP enabled CAD programs, it should work with most modern CAD programs that contain an AutoLISP interpreter.

    To run the program in your CAD program type the following in the command prompt: (load "gpkg") rsc

    Amending Unit Types, Dimension Types & Allowances

    To amend any of the above the "GPKGRSC.exe" program and use the simple Windows interface to change the figures in the database. When you are satisfied with the figures you have inputted and updated the database, click on the SAVE icon or select the "Save Drawing Values" option in the File menu.

    To amend fixed sizes and unit types, etc. click on the Spanner icon or select the "Fixed Drawing Values" option in the Edit menu.
