Valid Hole Wizard database

Valid Hole Wizard database

Valid Hole Wizard database

(OP)
Anybody seen the error in SW when you go to use a countersunk or counterbore hole and had the system tell you "No valid hole wizard standards database found.

RE: Valid Hole Wizard database

Had that once last week, just before quitting time. Problem has not re-occurred since re-booting the following morning.

cheers

I'm only having it on the counter bore and counter sunk holes and it's across all eight machines. Worse still, I can't find a single setting where I could point the d@MN$ program to a different, possibly correct, location.

RE: Valid Hole Wizard database

I didn't get as far as selecting a hole type. The Hole Wizard simply wasn't found but I had the same error message.

Have you tried repairing or re-installing SW on one machine (or the server?) and thereby replacing the database. I assume you are all using the same networked database?

cheers

RE: Valid Hole Wizard database

WE are all using the same networked database, my VAR sent me a new copy of the holecallout.txt file, but that didn't help.

RE: Valid Hole Wizard database

Joe, Is this happening with SW2009? Do you think there's a conflict having both SW2008 and SW2009 installed on one computer?

Colin,

I was due to update my sig, we're running all 2009 now.

CBL,

Tried the reinstall, didn't help. Tried my VAR's second set of solutions, didn't help.
