Installing the tutorial courseware files
 
 
 

Each tutorial in this book is based on an Alias wire file, which contains the material you need to learn the tools, skills, and concepts in the tutorial.

When you install AliasStudio, the courseware files are not automatically installed. These files are required to complete the Learning AliasStudio and Technical Surfacing tutorials.

If you have installed the online documentation, your courseware may already be installed. If not, follow the following procedure to install the courseware.

To install the courseware for use with AliasStudio:

The courseware files (Alias wire files and other support files) are automatically installed when you install the documentation from the AliasStudio Documentation CD.

  1. If you have not yet installed the documentation, place the AliasStudio Documentation CD in your CD-ROM drive and proceed with the installation.
    NoteYou will require write permissions to the directory in which you plan to install the online help and courseware files.

    If you want to install only the courseware files, go directly to your disk drive and find the CourseWare folder on the disk.

  2. Copy the CourseWare folder from its location on your hard drive or CD-ROM drive into your user_data folder.

    On Windows systems, this is typically: 

    C:\Documents and Settings\[userid]\My Documents\AliasStudio\user_data\CourseWare

To install the courseware for use with AliasStudio Personal Learning Edition

  1. The AliasStudio documentation should have already been installed on your system. The courseware files you will require to perform the tutorials can be found in the CourseWare directory, located under the Help directory. If you have installed the application in the default directory, you should find the CourseWare directory at C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AliasStudio2009\Help.
  2. Copy the CourseWare directory from the Help directory to your account’s user data directory.

    On Windows systems, this is typically:

    C:\Documents and Settings\[userid]\My Documents\AliasStudio\user_data\CourseWare
