Close Google Earth™ and any CAD product that may be running on your system.
Don't have Google Earth™? Install now.
After downloading, run the Executable File (.exe) and follow the screen instructions. Upon finishing the installation, restart your computer.
Open your CAD software. CAD-Earth should appear in the toolbar or ribbon. It will also show as a shortcut on your Windows desktop.
What are the limitations of the CAD-Earth demo version?
The CAD-Earth Demo Version has a limit of 500 points when importing a terrain mesh from Google Earth™. Only 10 objects can be imported to or exported to Google Earth™. Also, all images imported to or exported to Google Earth™ have ‘CAD-Earth Demo Version’ text watermark lines. The CAD-Earth Registered Version can process any number of points and objects and the images don’t have text watermark lines. Once purchased, the demo can be converted to a registered version applying an activation key.
What are the system requirements to use CAD-Earth?
CAD-Earth doesn’t need any additional requirements from the ones needed to run your CAD program optimally (please consult your documentation).
Currently, CAD-Earth works in Microsoft® Windows®10/11 64 bits and in the following CAD programs: AutoCAD® Full 2018-2026 (and vertical products i.e. Civil3D, Map, etc) and BricsCAD® V19-V21 Pro/Platinum.
CAD-Earth doesn't work on Mac, Revit or AutoCAD LT platforms.
What’s the difference between CAD-Earth Basic, Plus and Premium versions? With CAD-Earth Basic you can 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, and create cross sections or profiles. CAD-Earth Plus also allows you to perform slope zone analysis, along with many other additional features. CAD-Earth Premium is the most complete option, allowing Basic and Plus commands along with 4D animation and advanced mesh options.
If you’re trying to run an older application and hitting a "fast2001.ocx" error, it usually means Windows can't find or initialize that specific ActiveX component. Here is how to fix it:
: Users typically encounter this file today through "missing" or "not registered" error messages when trying to run older software that depends on FASTLIB components. Usage and Installation
At its core, fast2001.ocx is a file that belongs to a class of Windows components known as OCX files, or OLE Control Extensions. These are specialized programs, much like DLL files, that provide reusable functionality for other software applications. In the case of fast2001.ocx , it is specifically a module belonging to a software package called , which is created by FAST.Software . When you start the FASTWin application, the commands contained in the fast2001.ocx file are executed on your PC, and the file runs as a process named FAST2001 in your computer's memory (RAM).
Windows cannot utilize an OCX module until it is formally logged in the system topology. You can force registration using the Microsoft Regsvr32 tool. fast2001.ocx
The file is an ActiveX control, a type of software component typically used by older Windows-based applications developed in environments like Visual Basic 6 or Delphi. It is most commonly associated with Fast Report 2001 (or earlier versions of FastReport), a reporting tool used by developers to generate and print reports within their software. How to Use or Register fast2001.ocx
Does anyone have the correct version of this file or know the specific dependencies (like FASTLIB) required to make it work on modern systems? Option 2: Information/Resource Sharing Post
Type the following command and press Enter: regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\fast2001.ocx (If you are on a 64-bit system, you might need to use C:\Windows\SysWOW64\fast2001.ocx instead). If you’re trying to run an older application
does the error happen (opening the app, during a specific action)? Are you running Windows 10 or 11 ? Share public link
: The system or application folder lacks the file entirely because a third-party installer failed to bundle it.
"Runtime Error 339: Component 'fast2001.ocx' not correctly registered." "The file fast2001.ocx is missing." "Fails to load ActiveX control fast2001.ocx." Why Do These Errors Happen? These are specialized programs, much like DLL files,
While ActiveX registrations are typically background processes, a diagnostic utility UI will be provided for IT administrators: Feature Element Description Status Indicator A simple Red/Green visual light showing if fast2001.ocx is active and registered. "Fix It" Button
Modern 64-bit operating systems (like Windows 10 and Windows 11) do not include these older 32-bit runtime files by default.
To resolve issues with this control, follow these steps to manually place and register the file. 1. Locate or Obtain the File
