SynaptiCAD location crashes HET IDE?

When trying to load an HET program in HET IDE, I had an error about a SynaptiCAD thant spanned a few message boxes.  It looked like some command line flags that gave me no clues of any kind.  It also crashed HET IDE.  Rebooting did not solve.

  I have uninstalled SynaptiCAD and reinstalled it in its the default directory.  First time I had it install somewhere clean (Program Files) instead of c:\SynaptiCAD.  It has solved the problem.

IF HET IDE uses an hardcoded location for SynaptiCAD, that is VERY VERY BAD coding.  Otherwise, something else is wrong.

  • Just to follow up and close, we have confirmed with the HET IDE owner that this issue has been fixed. We also understand that there was a problem with some SynaptiCAD environment variable which wasn't showing the actual install path. Thanks for your feedback.
