    Default Tools from Catalog don't work

    When I try to use one of the tools from the "Design Tool Catalog - Imperial", using the Content Browser, I get an error message stating"

    A style or definition could not be located for this tool.
    Please check the tool settings for the following possible causes:
    - Location drawing is not available
    - Style or definition does not exist in current drawing

    What's up? I can't quiet figure it out. Feels like I'm missing something really simple.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sounds like a pathing issue. Could be a few reasons for this. On install, (I think) the basic set up for stand alone everything is pathed to the C:\ drive. On a network install you must specify the location. So some where along the line, something was pathed to the wrong drive. ie your tool is either looking from something on the network, or your C:\ drive when it should be looking at the other one. Double check you Paths.

    Yea . . . I agree. I've suspected a pathing issue as well and have been trying to troubleshoot that. But I can't really find anything that apears to be wrong. It is a pathed to a network drive.

    Any hints as to which paths that I specifically need to look at?

    I'd start by looking at the props of the tools in question under "style location". Be sure to check the full path. After that, I'd check that location and make sure they are still there.

    Also, uninstalling other Autodesk products can have an adverse affect on ADT. You might try a repair on ADT as well.
