2. Getting started
2.1. Installation
- Deflate the .zip file to your HiCAD\exe\plugins
- Result = \\HiCAD\exe\plugins\HELiCON\all files
- Activate the plugin, after a HiCAD restart:
2.2. Customizing settings
Until now it's not possible to get the correct licenses from the Sentinel hardlock service.
HELiCON Engineer is able to run both with HELiOS and without HELiOS. This means we have to specify these settings the first time we are using the HELiCON Connector.
| HiCAD\exe\plugins path | Setting | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Settings.xml | True | When set to False, then HELiCON Engineer doesn't use any HELiOS | |
| SettingsWatcher.xml | True | When set to False, then HELiCON Engineer doesn't use any HELiOS |
