Who this helps
Field engineers, CAD operators, and project managers who need a reliable PV design stack in AutoCAD.
What you’ll achieve
A clean PVX.AI installation, a licensed environment inside AutoCAD, and a repeatable update process.
Hands‑on steps
1) Install
- Download installer from u.pvx.ai.
- Close AutoCAD. Run installer with admin rights; complete wizard.
- Launch AutoCAD and verify PVX ribbon is visible.
2) Activate - Open AutoCAD → PVX ribbon → Activation.
- Paste Product Key provided to you and confirm.
- Restart AutoCAD to finalize.
3) Update - PVX ribbon → Update PVX.
- Accept release notes; run patch; reopen AutoCAD and confirm version.
How it works / checks
- Versioning uses semantic releases; ensure AutoCAD compatibility is met.
- Licenses bind to machine/user; rehost via support if hardware changes.
- Keep an offline backup of installer & key for audits.
QA & pitfalls
- If ribbon missing, reset AutoCAD workspace, then re‑enable PVX.
- Antivirus can block DLL load; whitelist PVX install folder.
- Use a non‑roaming path for stable profiles.
