When attempting to view a clash from Clash Results, it shows this error: Error creating view

Error creating view

The View button that appears after running a calculation does not do anything

Printing a calc shows this error in HydraVIEW;

File not found Runtime Error 53

While in your viewport, your riser is visible while in the 2D Wireframe view.  However if you change the Visual Style to Conceptual or Shades of Grey/Shades of Gray, your 3D riser disappears.  You may notice if re-appears if you zoom out.

After printing your data in HydraLIST, when HydraVIEW opens you attempt to change the default printer. 

You get an error "Page Setup - Unknown filetype found 'HLTF'"

1. Import clash errors does not work. Display Units any

Reviewing the results you notice a discrepancy between the k-factor of an equivalent k versus a sprinkler head using that equivalent k-factor

In the example below, EQ02 has a k-factor of 5.37.  Reference point 1 is supposed to use the k-factor of EQ02 (5.37) but in fact is using a different value (5.36).

When trying to insert a Sprinkler Head Schedule (SHS command), after viewing the setup dialog box, then selecting sprinkler heads, when asked to select a location for the guide, you get the error;

Please pick start point for schedule

Error: bad argument value: non-negative: -1

When opening HydraCAD, you only receive this error message and not a HydraKEY error with the golden X.  If you receive a HydraKEY error, search for the linked HydraCARD in that message box as it takes priority.

Security Error:  One of the following conditions is likely;

HydraCAD is unable to function under these conditions

• Lock database needs updating in HydraKEY
• Accounting flag on your account
• Hardware lock not plugged in
• Extra ACAD.RX file found in folder in Support File Search Path
• Sentinel driver is missing
• InstallPath registry item set to wrong drive

After AutoCAD opens, press F2 to view the command prompt, see if the text below appears.  If yes, see solution 1.

Could not find file HCAD_ENV.INI

Bayspace preview is not lining up the sprinklers evenly.  Or Bayspace stops working with a "Bad Argument Type 2D/3D point error." message.

Revit could not complete the external command... System.ArgumentException

After buiding your 3D risers, raising to 3D, exporting to a Persistent Model and Navisworks successfully, your 3D riser is missing, with the exception of the skipoles

Your layers are on and the 3D_DETAIL layer is present, unlocked, thawed and visible, you just can't see the pipe and fittings.  The one customer reporting this said they disappear if the drawing is closed then re-opened.  They'll be visible in viewports as well, just not in 2D view.

Command failure for external command ... System.IO.FileNotFoundException ... File name 'AWSSDK'

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

Requires an integer between 0 and 32767. 
 

Unhandled Exception... System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range

No error... but the view shows up in the project browser but quickly disappears after and cannot be accessed. 

No error reported for FSC even when maximum length is clearly exceeded

If you view the FSC properties, it's possible the HoseLength and MaxNumberOfBends values are not set.
