    Default Crash upon opening.

    Hi All,

    I am trying to open a drawing in C3D 2011 but unfortunately if freezes on my machine. All other machines are able to open it.
    If the drawing is saved down to 2007 is opens fine no problem.
    I feel this is a profile problem as if I log onto another machine it does the same.

    Does anybody have any suggestions as to what to do next or is it a case of removing my profile and rebuilding?

    Many Thanks in advance.

    you could try to create a new profile using all default settings on your machine. just setup an icon with the proper /p switch and it will create a new default profile. If it then works, it sounds like you'll probably have to rebuild your old profile from scratch.

    Another idea, that I have had to use every now and then.
    Find the file named "FixedProfile.aws" and rename it to FixedProfile.aws.old"

    On Windows 7, it should be found here.
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D 2011\enu\Support\Profiles

    When you restart Civil 3D, it will recreate this file using defaults. This has solved a lot of strange problems for me in the past. You'll lose some settings. If it doesn't help, you can always put the original file back in place.

    Thanks for the help.

    It was a broken, profile. Eported a new one from someone else and the drawing opens.

    I must remember the aws file.

    Thanks again.
