Urgent!! Draw Fatal Error: Foreign PDMS PADD database

 
  • Hi All,

    Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am getting a fatal error message when entering Draw.
    I have narrowed it down to 2 foreign PADD databases I received from the client. They are PDMS Draft databases.
    There isn't any problem entering Draw without these databases and I have tried using PDMS 12.1 Draft which works.
    Can you not enter into draw with a PDMS PADD database? or is there something else going on?
    This is what appears in the support file

    Draw
    Unhandled Exception:


    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • E3D works with PDMS 12.1.SP4 Dabacon Databases
    You should check with your client which PDMS version those databases are coming from...
  • Hi Corrado,

    They are PDMS 12.1.SP3 databases. Is it alright if they are only used for reference/readonly purposes?
