Hole Wizard Crashing Trouble

Hole Wizard Crashing Trouble

Hole Wizard Crashing Trouble

(OP)
Hey guys, just joined to try and get to the bottom of this.

Im using Solidworks 2010 student edition. I just recently noticed that when I try to use hole wizard I get some issues. Firstly, I dont get any options for the hole. I can only select "hole type" "standard:" and "type:" are grayed out. Im pretty sure there are other options that dont appear as well.

Also, if I click on any hole type and then attempt to click "straight tap" Solidworks will crash.

Ive repaired and have the same issue. I reinstalled and have the same issue. I changed the directors toolbox/hole wizard looks in to C:\solidworks Data(2)

Im stumped here, any ideas?

RE: Hole Wizard Crashing Trouble

Try the uninstall procedures outlined here ... especially the batch files.

If that doesn't work, it may be easier to reformat and start fresh.

I assume you are using a legit student version?
