After calculating system this message pops up..."The specified remote head does not have a k factor. Please fix your input" hydcalc.exe

When raising to 3D, you get the following error;

Error inserting to block table HEAD#/HH## to head dictionary

No error occurs but HydraCAD will not properly load and Hcad commands do not work.  

A quick test is to select the drop menu [File|New], select the template file 'HydraCAD Imperial Default.dwt'.  

The Drawing Setup window should appear but it does not, it loads straight into a blank drawing.

This is what you should see (press F2 to review the text window);

Instead you only see;

HCAD_ADS r4 functions Loaded.

AutoCAD menu utilities loaded.
Requires an integer between 0 and 32767.

3dFitting registry keys found

You can right-click each file, select PROPERTIES then GENERAL then click the UNBLOCK checkbox, however this may be time consuming if many files are blocked.

This method will describe how to unblock many files at once.  

When opening HydraCAD you get the error;

Selecting any button from the AutoCAD ribbon creates the fatal error.  Typing or using a toolbar does not create the error.
