What's the difference between CAD-Earth Basic and Plus versions?
With CAD-Earth Basic you import and export images and objects to Google Earth. With CAD-Earth Plus you can additionally import terrain configurations from Google Earth, draw contour lines, create and annotate cross sections and profiles and perform slope zone analysis.

What are the limitations of the CAD-Earth demo version?
The CAD-Earth Demo Version has the following limitations:
•A limit of 500 points when importing a terrain mesh from Google Earth.
•Only 10 objects can be imported to AutoCAD or exported to Google Earth.
•All images imported to AutoCAD or exported to Google Earth have 'CAD-Earth Demo Version' text watermark lines.
•A Demo Status form is shown with information about purchasing and activating licenses and days remaining for evaluation before each CAD-Earth command.
The CAD-Earth Registered Version can process any number of points and objects and don't have this limitations.
What are the system requirements to use CAD-Earth?
CAD-Earth doesn't need any additional requirements from the ones needed to run AutoCAD optimally (please consult your documentation). If you select to get images or terrain point elevations directly from Google Earth, you must install v7.3.2 64-bit from this link. Google Earth v7.3.3 and above, doesn't expose a programming interface, so it's not compatible with CAD-Earth. To avoid Google Earth being changed to another version, please rename the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe to C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\GoogleUpdateBackup.exe.
