Starting the program
Before you start using Furhoffs MagiCAD Plugin, start MagiCAD and open a Ventilation and Piping
project.
If the plugin ribbon button or toolbar is not visible in AutoCAD, you need to load the customization file
(.cuix) manually. Run CUILOAD (or MENULOAD) in AutoCAD, and browse the customization file from
the directory where you installed the program (by default, the directory is C:\Program Files\Furhoffs\).
When you select Load, Furhoffs toolbar and ribbon button appears on the desktop.
Next time you use AutoCAD, the customization file is automatically loaded.
