How do I Install and Start EasyGerb 7?

Since EasyGerb is a plug-in for AutoCAD, so it must be loaded into the AutoCAD environment before it can be used.  EasyGerb is installed into the folder (typically "C:\Numerical Innovations\EasyGerb\"). There is one EasyGerb ARX file for each version of AutoCAD. The EasyGerb file name indicates the release of AutoCAD that it has been designed for.


Please be sure to use the EasyGerb ARX file that corresponds to your version of AutoCAD.
