XML Crash and Lost Toolbars
XML Crash and Lost Toolbars
(OP)
I've had something go wrong with my 64 bit Draftsight install which I think is related to an XML crash the system reported. I can open DraftSight but have no toolbars and none can be reloaded. I first did a repair install of DS64bit and then a complete removal and re-install but still nothing. The program opens up with the file menu showing but then it opens the drawing "no-name" and the menu disappears. Anyone know how fix this annoyance?
Thanks,
David

I started a different thread about my issue and have had 0 replies. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about why this is happening.
Win7-64bit.

You need to close the D/S program. Then go to the folder (where C:\ is your folder where D/S was installed)
C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming
and delete the folder Draftsight. If your system administrator is like mine then you may need to type this address in explorer since the folder AppData was hidden from view (and won't appear when you do a search in explorer either BTW). Then restart D/S and it will reset and show you the missing toolbars.

Thanks for you post - worked for me and I am sharing with my co-workers using draftsight.
JasonWD - when you get to C:\Users\<YourName, click on the bar next to this folder path, and it will allow you to type in AppData, then you will be able to see.
AppData is a hidden system folder which is why you can't see it

Aftert the reinstall i received the same crash messages.
I did a delete on the Draftsight folder and then was able to restart normally.
