Hole Wizard not working after 2011 upgrade
Hole Wizard not working after 2011 upgrade
(OP)
Hello.
Lots of questions on here from me lately as we've upgraded SW and OS.
Hole Wizard is causing a crash every time it is used since we upgraded to 2011.
I suspect it is because we keep all our common toolbox and hole wizard files on a server and the installations of 2011 were done on each machine locally, meaning the data on the server is still 2009.
Does anyone know the procedure for updating the data on the server, given that all the client machines are already upgraded.

RE: Hole Wizard not working after 2011 upgrade
From your current state, I would copy the 2009 files into a version specific folder and then reinstall SW on one of the machines, pointing it at the 2011 folder. After the install on that machine has completed, I would then update the folder locations of the other machines to point at the new location.
You could copy the common files from one of your machines up to the server, but that will loose toolbox customizations and trigger the giant fastener phenomenon.

If I were to copy the common files from one machine, which folders do I need to take? Also, what is the giant fastener phenomenom, that sounds fun.

It should of read:
How do I run the CheckWizard from the toolbox?

Since I was having the issue on my machine and the test machine, I assumed it would be a problem for everyone else, but this is not the case.
It's only affecting me!
And by me, I don't mean my computer. If someone else logs on to the test machine, they can run hole wizard fine. I have tried using copy settings wizard to use this person's settings on my machine, but it still doesn't work. I have tried not logging into the vault, nope. I've run out of ideas.

Not really a helpful post here but more of a condoling one. Just to say I've had problems with multiple installs and different versions of SolidWorks with the Hole Wizard myself. It can quite annoying to resolve. Toolbox is exactly the same kind of cookie (if you have Professional or Premium)
