1. Drawing templates for v2027

Follow this guide to readjust your US base installation to metric ISO system with Swedish base instead.

NOTE! Make sure IRONCAD is closed before you do this!

Start by downloading and unzipping this ZIP file containing all the metrically adapted templates:

Download templates for v2027 (coming soon)

Copy the unpacked \Template folder.

Go to this path:

C:\Users\*YOUR USER*\AppData\Roaming\IronCAD\IRONCAD\29.0\en-us

You can also use this general "shortcut" to the folder: %appdata%\IronCAD\IRONCAD\29.0\en-us

Right-click on the existing \Template folder and select Delete.

Paste the new \Template folder instead.

2. Sheet metal tables for v2027

Download and unpack our customized plate tables with Swedish designations from this link:

Download sheet metal tables for v2027 (coming soon)

Now copy both the Stocktbl.txt and Tooltbl.txt plate tables.

Go to this folder:

C:\Users\*YOUR USER*\AppData\Local\IronCAD\IRONCAD\29.0\en-us\SheetMetal

You can also use this general "shortcut" to the folder: %localappdata%\IronCAD\IRONCAD\29.0\en-us\SheetMetal

Delete the two existing files and paste the new files there (or just replace them).

You can also go to the program's installation path and paste and replace the two files there too:

C:\Program Files\IronCAD\2027\AppData\en-us\SheetMetal

This makes the plate tables immediately correct for any new user of the same computer.

3. Catalogs for v2027

Download and unpack our customized catalogues from this link:

Download catalogs for v2027 (coming soon)

Copy all contents of the \Drawing folder

Paste and replace the catalogs in this path: C:\Program Files\IronCAD\2027\AppData\en-us\Catalogs\Drawing‍

Then do the same with the contents of the \Scene folder (copy all contents)

Paste and replace the catalogs in this path: C:\Program Files\IronCAD\2027\AppData\en-us\Catalogs\Scene

4. Recommended settings for v2027

Download and unzip this ZIP file, which contains a number of registry files:

Download registry files for v2027 (coming soon)

The REG files for IRONCAD are named 2027-IC_CUS.reg and 2027-IC_NUS.reg.

The REG files for INOVATE are named 2027-IV_CUS.reg and 2027-IV_NUS.reg.

The REG files for IRONCAD DRAFT are named 2027-ID_CUS.reg and 2027-ID_NUS.reg.

The REG files for IRONCAD COMPOSE are named 2027-CM_CUS.reg and 2027-CM_NUS.reg.

These registry files change, among other things, the Options settings to our recommended settings and take effect the next time the program is started.

Read more about our recommended settings here.

*CUS = Current User Settings -> applies to the currently logged-in user via \\CURRENT USER and replaces existing registry settings, but does not delete any existing settings (e.g., if you have opened more files than what is set in "CUS" etc.).

*NUS = New User Settings -> changes the default settings under \\LOCAL MACHINE , which are then copied to "CUS" when a new Windows user runs IC for the first time.

Approach

Then double-click on one registry file at a time to install it(repeat the same process below for both files).

You will get a warning message that looks like the picture below

Click Yes on this box followed by OK.

5. IC Mechanical v2027

When installing the US base version of IronCAD 2027, a US version of the add-on is also included IronCAD Mechanical (also known as IC Mech or ICM). It is not possible to install a different version of IC Mech over a "region-specific version" of IC Mech. For example, the US version cannot be installed over the Swedish version, and vice versa.

If you have installed the U.S. version, or are unsure—first uninstall the existing version to replace it with the Swedish version, which you can find here.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and uninstall existing (US) installation of IronCAD Mechanical .

Download and install our Swedish version of the IC Mechanical add-on:
