Installing the Assyst tools for extraction of 800xA graphics

Although we have existing support for manual extractions of VB and PG2 graphics respectively, DBDOC 10.5.1 adds support for PG2 extractions based on tools provided by Assyst. These extractions should better support 800xA PG2 graphics compared to the previous method using the ABB Documentation Tool.

  1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the DBDOC Kits folder of the DBDOC installation DVD and double-click assyst-installer.exe.
    Information-noshadow.png Note: This should be done on an 800xA workstation, otherwise the tools will fail to run and/or will be unable to extract any data.
    Information-noshadow.png Note: You can also download the latest version of this installer from https://gmcl.com/downloads.php.
  2. You can choose to install to something other than the default path of C:\DBDOC\AssystBin, but keep in mind that the extraction program will nonetheless extract graphics to C:\DBDOC\Graphics. If this isn't suitable for your setup, please contact GMCL.
  3. See extracting 800xA graphics using the Assyst tools for further instructions.
