RE: Hi there im just upgraded to Aca

Dear IYIeI2cY,

The Express Tools Library is not included with AutoCADĀ® 2000i or AutoCADĀ® 2002.

Solution
When you upgrade from AutoCAD 2000 to AutoCAD 2002, you can use one of the following methods to migrate the Express Tools Library.

Method #1
Install AutoCAD 2002 before you uninstall AutoCAD 2000 to ensure that Express Tools migrate into AutoCAD 2002.

Method #2
Create a backup of the Express Tools Library before you install AutoCAD 2002. Use this method if you need to completely uninstall AutoCAD 2000 before you install AutoCAD 2002. Use this procedure to back up the Express Tools library and then migrate the files to AutoCAD 2002.
1.    Before uninstalling AutoCAD 2000, make backup
        copies of the following Express Tools-related
        files:
    express\*.*
    support\acettest.fas
    help\acetmain.hlp
    help\acetmain.cnt
    help\acetfaq.hlp

2.    Install AutoCAD 2002, and reboot your computer.
3.    Under the directory where you installed AutoCAD,
        create a subdirectory named Express. For example,
        if you installed AutoCAD on the C drive in the
        c:\program files\autocad 2002 directory, create the
        following directory:
        c:\program files\autocad 2002\express.
4.    Copy all of the Express Tools files from the
        express\*.* file that you backed up in step 1 into
        the new directory you created in step 3.
5.    Copy the "acettest.fas" file to the AutoCAD support
        files subdirectory. For example, if you installed
        AutoCAD on the C drive in the
        c:\program files\autocad 2002 directory, the
        support files directory would be
        c:\program files\autocad 2000i\support.
6.    Copy the "acetmain.hlp", "acetmain.cnt", and
        "acetfaq.hlp" files to the AutoCAD Help
        subdirectory.
7.    On the command line, type appload and press ENTER.
8.    Under Startup Suite, select Contents and choose
        Add.
9.    Select the "acettest.fas" file in the AutoCAD
        support directory. This will cause this file to
        load every time AutoCAD is started. You may have to
        restart AutoCAD at this point.
10.    Type EXPRESSMENU on the command line.

Note: The directories may vary slightly depending on the version of AutoCAD and the folders specified during the install.The Express Tools menu will load automatically in AutoCAD 2002 and the tool kit will be ready to use.

Warning: The Express Tools have not been fully tested with AutoCAD 2002.
