Raster Design Unload License

Most people have maybe one or two server license of Raster Design. Once you have finished doing what you need to do in the program use :IUNLOAD.

This will release the license you had open and make it available to other users. Just keep in mind you will have to shut Acad down in order to run RasterDesign again.

 

Create Toolbar Macro to change layer info

Here is a quick example on how to create a Command to run in a toolbar. First thing you want to do is decide what toolbar you want the Command/Macro to run in. I have a separate CUI that follow me around version to version. If you were to add custom commands to the Acad or Civil CUI for example, when you upgrade versions you would have to remember what you added to those menus and that is to much thinking. So Create your own CUI/Menu!
