Frequently Asked Questions:



LINUX:

how do i run the software ? Do i need to compile the program ?
No, gCAD3D is selfextracting;
  execute the package from the filebrowser or start from the commandline with:
./gCAD3D-1.xx-Linux-x86
  (as normal user (not root);  this extracts gCAD3D into directory ~/gCAD3D).
If you do not have a gCAD3D-Icon on you Desktop,
  start gCAD3D from a terminal-window (see below).
You do not need the installer-program (gxInstall).



I would like to uninstall the gCAD3D program
use program {installDir}gCA3D/gCAD3D_unInstall
 - or manually:
remove the {installDir}gCAD3D - directory and the file ~/Desktop/gCAD3D.desktop

Thats all. There is nothing in the install-db of rpm.



where can I get documentation ?
Does the interactive function Help/Dokumention work ?
  This function should bring up the html-browser;
    if not: which html-browser do you use ?
    (gcad checks for konqueror and firefox only)
