AutoCAD Based Launching HydraCAD (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Button: Opening Error Type: Semantic Errors in HD_INPUT.DCL

Description:

Semantic error(s) in DCL

Solutions:

Cause:

BASE.DCL is an AutoCAD file found in the \Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20##\UserDataCache\en-us\Support – It contains all the dialog box basics that we build on. If that file is not there, none of our dialogs will work.

This primarily happens because the Support File Search Path does not include the above folder. That happens because a different user was logged in when the AutoCAD was installed.
Solution:

Run the ‘Reset Settings to Default’ AutoCAD Windows menu item, followed by our Configure AutoCAD for HydraCAD (applicable version) :\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\AutoCAD 2022 - English\Reset Settings to Default.lnk"
