Hi,

I've been trying to create a profile from Vanilla with our company's specifics and keep on running into an error messagebox on startup that says that "mcadapi.arx" is missing. It isn't and I don't have the issue when I open the software as mechanical.

I've tried from the shortcuts from the start menu and from the desktop (both Standard CAD and Mech).

We're running brand new HP workstations with windows 7 and 2012 Mechanical.

Thanks for any help

Is the path that its in stored in the Files section of Options in your new profile?

They were. Not the problem - I had an epiphany during the night. The problem was that my drawing templates (dwt's) were causing the issue. I only have to recreate my dwt's from <<VANILLA>> templates and voilĂ !

Had nothing to do with the shortcut or the profile in the end.

Thanks!
