DHPDAT.INI Error

  • Hello,


    I just had a crash today, and had to call Wil to get the solution to this curious problem.


    I was trying to open a 2D drawing from the Project Administration Window when I got the error saying that the DHPDAT.INI file could not be found.
    See first screenshot. I went to look in the WINEXE folder to find this file, but it wasn't there.


    The solution is:
    1) Go to Windows Explorer and go to the Tools>Folder Options. Click on the View Tab. Make your settings like the Folder Options screenshot attached.


    2) Go to the C:\DIETRICHSxx\WINDAT folder.
    You should a file named DHPDAT.NEW. For some reason, when this crash happens, it goes in a renames this file. You have to right click on the file and Rename it to DHPDAT.INI.


    If you close the program and restart, this should solve the problem.


    Bye for now,


    Dan

  • Wow that is a long time ago, I had that error. I know about the solution to rename it - but I thought the error was gone in newer versions (even though I still have only version 7).
