REGISTER LICENSE
1) Delete all the files that are on your expge hd

2) unzip the expge.zip a folder inside the pendrive

eg "F:/expge/" (assuming the USB drive is F)

3) Open the autocad

4) Enter the command line APPLOAD

5) Find the file "f:/expge/expge.vlx"

6) If all goes well, he loads the menu, but he asks that this folder the
"expge.vlx"

6.1) If he asks where is the "expge.vlx" lead the way in the box that opens

7) Start the command from the command line EXPGE

8) Click the button "Register" then click the "Get Access Code"

9) Complete the registration page that opened

( http://tbn2net.appspot.com/registrar )

program

13) You get a day license without limitation to test the program!!

14) If you like and want to purchase a license that does not expire, please contact

For Use in the command line type:

EXPGE
EXPORT for lines and points for GOOGLE EARTH

READKML
IMPORT KML to AutoCAD
GEPROPS
to edit the NAME and DESCRIPTION. BEFORE EXPORT entities

EXPGEAPAGALIC
when the license gives some problem, you can delete and re-register

after selecting the entities that will be exported, a dialog box will appear
asking how they should be processed the QUOTA coordinates, if they are related
the ground, whether they are absolute coordinates, or should be ignored (lines are
drawn
on the soil)

Should be informed that the benchmark used in autocad (WGS84, SAD69 ...) which
are predefined in the file "expge.ini" with parameters:

"A" -> the major axis of the ellipsoid,

"Flatness" -> ... (1 / f, where f is the value that appears in the list of this
file)
"Dx", "dy", "dz" -> translations of the coordinate system to convert carteziano
a point of a reference to another

will be asked on which hemisphere is located entities (North / South)

will also be necessary to inform on which zone you are working (in my case,
Curitiba is in zone 22, with central meridian 51W)

Note: You can choose which parameter to tell if the spindle or the central meridian
informed if the central meridian, for use with signal NEGATIVE WEST
and positive for EAST

If you do not know which zone or central meridian should use, click the button with
a question, it will show a world map, where you must click on the region
approximately where it should be drawn on google earth. Clicking on the drawing, it
calculates the hemisphere and the correct zone.

After all these parameters are correctly set, a file will be created
"*.KML" which is the format used in Google Earth

Each entity in AutoCad processed, has a Layer and this will be displayed on Google
Earth as a "folder" where this (s) organization (s) will be located

Exportable entities:
POINT, LINE, LWPOLYLINE, Polyline, SPLINE, CIRCLE, ARC, ELLIPSE
NEW!! : HATCH, INSERT, TEXT

The lines which are not LINE are exported as POLYGON, that is, any segment
STRAIGHT not be converted into line segments, creating vertices to mimic
this segment

24/01/2007 - Fixed bug: every time the program was launched, a new entry was
created in the list of reference

to show on the screen (although properly calculate)
26/01/2007 - Changing the way saving the parameters, now everyone can have their
DWG
own parameters
- First version of the program READKML that matter points, polygons and lines
KML
03/02/2007 - Improved the READKML now the FOLDER KML, are interpreted as
and layers, with an option for default layer when there FOLDER
