The download of KitCAD2G*.zip is a 2010 re-release of the entire KitCAD software package, which includes all KitCAD add-ons with supporting files of LibSys and ClipEd.
Please install additional downloads for 3D and 2D functions and any required viewers for generated file types. See the quick start Guide for KitCAD download instructions.
See the other 3D/2D addons information for installing the required file viewers (not included with any release of KitCAD).
The current 2010 re-release of KitCAD2G*.zip includes the Library System and ClipEd support. Any previous release of KitCAD 2 (KitCAD2F.zip version 2.25) required a library system to be downloaded before operation (library system was not included in main downloads),
see the 2006 example library for more information.
Some extra downloads are NOT required but are listed below for advanced users; like the SKiN's, or the p2p example.
Pressing the DRAW button without a object item selected starts the Search tool. The Online text search functions within ISEARCH.exe require HTML files of KitCADi3 and in this case the CGI software running at KitCADi3
search - as such an Internet connection is required. Please note that a CGI script or other interface is required by web server/s software to provide result/s and where needed prompts to update. The Online interfaces provide results that are configured to be
downloaded for KitCAD2v5 and used in KitCADi3. To DISABLE the Online search option perform the following:- Open KitCAD2v5, press DRAW, and click the + button to expand the searchtool.exe dialog; Next select the Online checkbox and un-check any ticks before pressing the Close button to save the change.
