Standalone HydraCALC (Location)
Description:
Final printout pages in HydraVIEW have data which looks smushed or overlapping or compressed or garbled or jumbled
Mismatched .FPO files. Likely NFPA.FPO
Found here; C:\HES\HydraCALC\Ver50\Data\Setup\Reports
Check the 3rd column header from the right. If it says "Pipe Ftng's Total" with an apostrophe S, you have the old version of the FPO
• This issue should be fixed in the latest HydraCALC [50.5520.727] & HydraVIEW [50.71.2]. BUT, even if you're on a newer HydraCALC,
a) delete the file "C:\HES\HydraCALC\Ver50\Data\Setup\Reports\NFPA.FPO"
b) re-run the update to force the file to be rewritten. (thanks Yolanda P)
Another option is to get a copy of the file NFPA.FPO from a computer without the issue (someone else in your office)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
• If the issue gets fixed but seems to reappear, it's possible that an older version of the .FPO file is being uploaded during a Master Data automatic upload. Check your master data location and make sure that location has a copy of the newest file.
*older notes below*
Check the C:\HES\HydraCALC\Ver50\Data\Setup\Reports folder and it's possible old .FPO files still exist, post update.
HydraCAD v50.54 or newer use NFPA.FPO & VEL PRESS.FPO, older version use a different NFPA.FPO and NFPA_2007.FPO.
Compare files from a working computer and copy over as necessary or delete NFPA.FPO then rename NFPA 2007.FPO to NFPA.FPO. [GAB 2/13/18]
