When you install HAMMER CONNECT after you install AutoCAD, integration between the two is automatically configured.

If you install AutoCAD after you install HAMMER CONNECT, you must manually integrate the two by selecting Start > All Programs > Bentley > HAMMER CONNECT > Integrate HAMMER CONNECT with ArcGIS-AutoCAD-MicroStation. The integration utility runs automatically. You can then run HAMMER CONNECT in the AutoCAD environment.

The Integrate HAMMER CONNECT with AutoCAD-ArcGIS command can also be used to fix problems with the AutoCAD configuration file. For example, if you have CivilStorm installed on the same system as HAMMER and you uninstall or reinstall CivilStorm, the AutoCAD configuration file becomes unusable. To fix this problem, you can delete the configuration file then run the Integrate HAMMER CONNECT with AutoCAD-ArcGIS command.
