### Step 1: Installing PC-DMIS

The installation setup program of PC-DMIS 3.2 or higher will place several DLLs in the Path environment variable allowing you to link directly to ACIS CAD files. To install PC-DMIS follow this procedure:

1. Plug your PC-DMIS portlock (also known as a dongle) into the printer port of your PC.

2. Insert the PC-DMIS CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

3. Using Windows Explorer, open the directory containing the CD-ROM and then navigate to the setup.exe application for PC-DMIS.

4. Double click (execute) the file setup.exe.

5. This will activate the PC-DMIS installation sequence.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

7. At the end of the installation, a PC-DMIS for Windows Program Group appears containing a Start Up icon.

8. Double click this icon and wait a few moments. PC-DMIS checks your portlock settings at this point.

9. You should now see some new icons in the PC-DMIS for Windows Program Group. These include: Offline, Uninstall, and Help.

This completes the PC-DMIS installation.
