I have problems with this installation.
--------------
Now I have finally received the software and new hardlock key. I have problems with installing the program. There have gone something wrong with something, as you can see at the picture (it shows, that the automatic playback of CD is not working). First time there was no problems there. But the installation went wrong. Maybe because I forget to install the hardlock device driver before I put it in the computer?

And after I try to uninstall the hardlock driver, and install again, but then I have to go directly to the setup.exe on the CD, in stead of "automatic play". I try parallel and update, but when I start the program it wants to run like evaluation version.

So now I don't know what to do. I was thinking to delete everything about Dietrichs from the C-drive and from desktop, and then make a new installation. Maybe that will work!? Since I have saved my project-folder and HRB-folder elsewhere than on the C-drive - these things will not be lost. So it will be a minimum I will loose, I think?

I look forward to your quick response.

Yeeahhh But I would like to have explained how she is going to send me the plans, so I can put them in my position. I even don't know how to do it, and she is totally new in Dietrichs (one day old...) :wink:

How she will do that, Der_Planer?

To just copy the plf files would maybe be best - but not possible, since she will be sitting in Lithuania and I in Denmark, most of the time...

She will not be working on the 3D (i.e. making changes in structures). Her only job is to make drawings. So if she go into the 3D model, then it will only be to take pictures or to take out wall drawings and stuff like that.

So probably I could replace the position on my computer, if she send it to me, since the drawings that she have made then will be there?

But, if I send the position to somebody else, who make changes (like making drawings). Then she send the position back to me. Then when I put the position into Dietrichs, can I then overwrite my existing position - and then I can access her drawings, correct them, print them etc...? Lets say in this case I have not been into the position in Dietrichs 3D construction in the meanwhile.

Ok - perhaps I will use "update". I see no reason to have two versions of the same program.

Is this possible: I make the constructions of a house. Then I send the position to my assistant, so she can make the 2D production drawings for this position. When she is finished, and she send back the position to me, can I update my old position with her drawings?

Can I do that if I have made changes in the constructions (and of course keep these changes)?

No one can answer this my question??

I am going to update my Dietrichs - I have v.6.02, but I am going to update it with new modules, and higher level on existing modules.

Earlier I have found that to get the same "program" as before (t.ex. when I installed it on my laptop - the only thing that is necessary to copy from one computer to another is the HRB-folder. Now I am used to have both project and HRB folder outside of the Dietrichs installation folders on the C-drive. Now I have them in different folders maybe on another drive. Then I just change settings / paths in the new installation.

I think I could do the same here. But I am not sure what is the best - parallel installation or update??

Since I have not changed any settings about icon size - I might be using small icons??

No - this house is made with version 5.04 (now I have 6.02) and the timbers are put into the walls etc. with wall design, ceiling design etc.

I have a house, where posts are cut into top- and bottom plates with shoulders, Ceiling beams and roof rafters are possibly also assembled with shoulders.

But the factory where we are going to produce this, doesn't have Krusi, so I should change all shoulders to straight cuts.

Is it possible to change all shoulders in a few simple operations or do I have to go into each wall etc. to change it??

In PlanCad you have settings also - 1-7-5. Or maybe under dimensions settings (5-1) you need to go.

Ok - thanks - but this I should do before I put my drawings on the "paper". Because if I change the settings now the textstyle is not updated.

Normally the timber numbers are put at the drawing with the textstyle DHPdefault. But suddenly, out of the blue it uses one of my own defined text styles, that have a little bigger text size.

Why?? And how to change what ever setting back to "normal"??

I think I know about these double path names - but it still did not work for me. But maybe it is not the same problem we had.

My solution was to install another e-mail program (Thunderbird) - I gave up on Windows Mail and also Outlook.

Hello.

Does any of you had problems with importing e-mail folders and messages from Outlook Express 6 to Windows Vista's new version of Outlook Express, i.e. Windows Mail. I have copied all mail folders from XP, and Windows Mail does see the folders totally correct, but it does not import them.

I would like to try to start from fresh by reinstalling Windows Mail, to get rid of eventually wrong installation, but I don't know how.

Jim Rogers: Thank's for your suggestions. But: The Dietrichs 6.02 installation was a very clean installation on a very new laptop, where there have never before been Dietrichs. And also no antivirus software. And also no internet connection.

Jens Krause: Thank's for your answers too.
1) OK - will see if it happens again. I have not remarked if it happens at specific occasions.

2) The error occurs like this: I am finished to take out drawings in Dietrichs, and now I want to start D-Cad to make the production drawings. Then the error occurs, while trying to open D-Cad.

Hi.

I thought that we could share our experiences with version 6.02, and gather information about problems in this version. Because to me it seems more unstable than 5.04.

1) C:\Dietrichs06\Windat\DHPdat.ini dissapears once in a while, so the program cannot be started. The file can be copied from the files on the CD. But when you start the program some settings are resetted - like paths.

2) Some times D-Cad will not start and makes it necessary to shut down the program from task manager, because the program freezes and don't answer.

# Jens Krause: Where to change the color set in your option (2)??
