Xerox Document Workstation with PlotWorks Support & Software User Guide

PlotWorks User Guide • Getting Started • 2-1

Before beginning the PlotWorks installation please note the following:

•

If you were previously running the Tiered version of PlotWorks, it is neces-
sary to uninstall PlotWorks and then reinstall PlotWorks version 5.5.1. 

•

If you plan to process MicroStation DGN files, install MicroStation SE before 
PlotWorks. 

•

If you plan to process AutoCAD DWG files install AutoCAD, Release 14 or 
later, and ensure that it is configured to use only the PGS Driver for printing.

•

If Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 is not already installed, please install it before 
PlotWorks.

The PlotWorks Installation Wizard scans the computer for existing copies of 
PlotWorks. If PlotWorks 4.2 or an earlier version is detected, the entire PlotWorks 
directory, including subdirectories, is deleted. PlotWorks is then reinstalled 
completely. If a newer version is found, the installation application allows you to 
choose whether to update PlotWorks, preserving all previous settings, or reinstall 
the application completely. 

 Click the Back button to return to the previous screen anytime during the 
installation process.
