Procedure

Building and Installing

Build the sample project. The library (VBSample117.dll or CSSample117.dll) is automatically copied to the AutoCAD Map 3D Client bin directory. This library and the associated .tbp file need to be manually copied into the AutoCAD Map 3D Administrator bin directory as well.

Creating a Document Using the Module

1. Launch the AutoCAD Map 3D Administrator application.
2. Load an existing workspace or create a new workspace (see Create a Workspace for more information).
3. Select the New button in the Document box to create a new document.
   

4. Enter a valid password in the Document tab of the Create New Document dialog box.

   
5. Select the Module tab on the left side of the Create New Document dialog box.
6. Select the Simple Water Demo Application Module check box from the list of available modules.
   
   Note

   If Simple Water Demo Application Module is not in the list, it means the Sample 117 .dll and .tbp files are not in the AutoCAD Map 3D Administrator \bin directory. Close the Administrator, copy the files from the AutoCAD Map 3D Client \bin directory, restart the AutoCAD Map 3D Administrator, and try again.

7. Press OK. This begins the process of creating a new document.
8. After a series of status message boxes, the Update Modules and DataModels dialog box lists all the updates specified in the structure update plugin of Sample 117. Press Update.
   
9. This creates the data model and applies all the updates specified in the structure update plugin. When the process is complete, press Close.
10. The document based on the simple water module has now been created in the workspace. Select the Data Model and Workflows tree elements to see the data model and workflows provided by the module.
