Welcome to the CAD Pack (SM) Software, August 2008 release!

You have just received the Herman Miller CAD Pack August 2008 software. The August
2008 CAD Pack DVD has been updated with the August 2008 SIF data and is a
companion to Z-Axis Version 20, although Z-Axis is not required for its operation.
Please read below for new features and enhancements, new products added and modified.

Installing CAD Pack

Insert the CAD Pack DVD to start install. If the install does not begin automatically,
select Start, and then Run from the Windows desktop. Next, select Browse and from the
DVD drive select setup.exe.
1. Select Typical (recommended) installation type to install all product lines and AutoCAD support
options. Select Custom installation type to choose which product lines and AutoCAD support
option to install.

2. Select the destination folder to install CAD Pack to. The default folder location is C:\Program
Files\HMI\CADPack. The installer will copy all program and data files to the user selected
destination folder and will require approximately 2.2 GB free disk space for installation.

Note: If a prior version of CAD Pack software has been installed, it is recommended to first remove
this from the Control Panel and then install this CAD Pack version to the same destination folder
location. If prompted to remove existing installation, it is highly recommended to select Yes.

To add product lines later, simply insert the DVD and run the install program again
selecting Modify as the installation type, select the same destination folder location.

Installing CAD Pack to a Network

In order to preserve space on one or more "client" computers, the CAD Pack software can
be installed to a network drive (see Installing CAD Pack). Once the main program is
installed on the network drive, the CAD Pack client installation program must be run on
each client computer. A small number of configuration files will be copied to the client
computer. To run the client installation program, browse to the folder where CAD Pack
was installed and double-click ClientSetup.exe.

numbers will display in blue text. Upon selecting a product number, additional information on the

5. Select desired Placement Options for the AutoCAD version, symbol type, product specification
and 3D height value. In the lower right corner of the browser, select Place to insert into an
AutoCAD drawing.

in the drawing.

Within AutoCAD there are ways to open the CAD Pack Product Browser. From the CAD Pack
