ViewCompanion Pro FAQ

Licensing

I've installed and registered ViewCompanion Pro on a computer as domain admin. Whenever anyone else logs in and opens the program, it states that it is an evaluation version. How do I correct this?
ViewCompanion can use a license file. If a license file is found, ViewCompanion will not ask for a serial number. You can create this license file yourself. The file must be named viewcompanion.lic and must be placed in the same directory as the viewcompanion.exe executable. The file must be a text only file (e.g. created by Notepad), and must contain two lines. The first line holds the company name and the second line holds the serial number.
Example license file:
Your company name
VC2-FF-99999-AAAABBBB

Display and Printing

Why doesn't the pen table setting affect text entities?
On the HPGL page you find a setting named "Use Pen Table for Text". Enable this option and the pen table settings will work for text (LB) entities too.

Markup

Once I select a markup drawing command, I want to continue to use it. The way it is working now, I have to reselect it every time I want to add a markup. Is there a setting I can change?
Open the Tools->Options markup dialog. On the Markup page you will find an option named "Switch to Edit Mode when a new entity is created". Disable this option and ViewCompanion will stay in the draw markup mode.
