Installation Process Considerations Starting with version 20.0 of Theorem Solutions applications changes have been made to the installation process. These changes have transitioned from a JAVA based installer package to a standard Microsoft Installer (.msi) package. A current limitation of the Microsoft msi method is that the software cannot be installed directly on to either externally mapped or network drives when installed from a client machine: Therefore, the installation must be performed to a drive that is local to the machine itself. If you are attempting to install the software onto a network drive, then please refer to the configuration guide available from the following link http://www.theorem.com/documentation/documentation/client_configuration.pdf. Distribution Media CD images of the latest release are available from the following download sites. CATIA V5 Version ALL products for all versions of CATIA V5-6 URL for CD image download https://s3-eu-west- 1.amazonaws.com/theorem.software/CADverter_20.2/CAD_20.2_CA5PDF_WIN.01.msi Related Distribution Media In addition to the translator software itself there are also two other related media distributions available. One is for the installation and configuration of the Theorem User Interface. This is designed as a free-standing user interface for the translator allowing the user to navigate the file system and initiate translations either interactively or in batch using standard drag and drop techniques. The second media distribution contains the Theorem License Manager which is installed on the nominated license server(s) and manages the user access to the purchased volume of concurrent Theorem application licenses. 6 P age Theorem Solutions 2016

Known Limitations and Restrictions The following limitations and restrictions have been identified during final testing prior to release Ref ID Limitations and Restrictions 1 A current limitation of the.msi installation method is that the software cannot be installed directly on to external based mapped or network drives from a client machine. For guidance on how to do this, please find the documentation here 2 Due to a regression in the third party API you may see issues when processing to a template containing a carousel widget. 3 When using a mask file, the file must be held in a location without spaces in the directory path. 4 Due to a third party API change, if you use PMI_Edge highlighting, at this release you will require the additional option 'enable_brep' 5 Due to a regression in the third party API you may see issues relating to exploded views and instance PMI-geom highlighting. 6 Some issues when processing PMI region data that is non rectangular 9 PDF Default View: If a default view is set along and any render mode other than Solid is configured then the render mode will not be honoured. 9 P age Theorem Solutions 2016
