Oddity help in sketching

Hello @ All and @ All

Following the change of version made by the hot line to the 2022, I have this curious thing.

How do I remove " mod-diam " because even if I try to remove it in the quote text, it remains stuck in the sketch like Captain Hadhock's band-aid - A thousand ports!

Also I don't see the trihedron normally present in a corner of the screen anymore.

Kind regards

Hello
I don't have this problem on the 2022 SP5 I'm testing right now. Review with the hotline?
Installation problem?

Hello

Wouldn't you have an error message when launching SW that says the file xxxxxx "C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks... is missing?
Because your problem makes me think of a lack of symbol library, and probably of a lost path when switching from one version to another with a possible parameter import from the old version.
Check that you have access to the other symbols

Hello Zozo_mp,
First of all, my best wishes,...
For me it works on SW2022 SP4



… Good luck.

Hello

This has already happened to me, the symbol file pointed to an old installation of SW.
You have to go to the options/file locations.

Hello

For the trihedron: option->display->check "Show reference trihedron".

For the text, I think SW can't find the symbols anymore.
See option->Symbol library file->file location if the folder is present and if so, if the symbol file is also present...
Normally the folder is: c:\ProgramData\SplidWorks\SolidWorks 2022\lang\english

Kind regards.

Here is a link to solve these stories from:

this is a bad redirect to the " Symbol Library File" file

for the failing Trihedron:
Click Tools > Options > System Options > View.
Select or clear the Show Reference Trihedron check box, and then click OK.

Kind regards

Hello
I had the problem and I added the file "gtol.sym" in this folder:
C:\ProgramData\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS 2022\lang\english

I found the famous file "gtol.sym" in the folder of my old version (in my case it was here: C:\ProgramData\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS 2019\lang\english )

A+

Hello

@Cyril.f unfortunately I no longer have access to the hotline since December 31st (at worst I would invoke the after-sales service especially since I paid independently of the maintenance for this action.)

@Pierre_S no error message, everything goes well except that it puts

@A.R Thank you for your wishes and your message

@opiep27 I changed the path that points to the 2022 version but it doesn't change anything

@a.Eriaud Very good news, the reference trihedron is now displayed with your good advice

@Nicolas74 the "gtol.sym" file is in the place you indicate in the 2022 space! And I changed the path so that it points to the 2022 version.

Thank you all for your help! We continue, we will get there.

Kind regards

Hello;
@Zozo_mp : Well, your band-aid is tenacious!

It is possible to make a small assessment of the file locations here:

(Warning: the location indicated on the screenshot is a personal location...)

Wouldn't the easiest thing be to remount a backup of the *.sldreg file?
Or we can provide you with a copy of the GTOL file. SYM (2022 version) if needed.

→ see if you don't have a directory "C:\ProgramData\SOLIDWORKS**(2)**....
This happens in case of a " bad " uninstallation of the previous version (more and more common)

Kind regards.

Thank you @Maclane

I'm looking at it a little more closely.
I want the GTOL file. SYM (2022 version) but I think like you that the PB is elsewhere.

As the young people say: it really fills me up

Here is my file (Solidworks 2022 format)...

gtol.zip (15.2 KB)
(In zip format: it is only 167KB but the server does not recognize this format)
Note: this is the French version:
To be stored in " C:\ProgramData\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS 2022\lang\english "

note: before this manipulation, try to force Solidworks' hand by deleting the location of the symbol file from the Solidworks options, the latter will ask if you want to use the " default " location.

Kind regards.

Hello @Maclane Problem solved

The new gtol file didn't change anything and for good reason! It was the path that was not good, it pointed to 2021 which did not have the gtol file
However, I was convinced that I had changed it following your advice.

A moment of bewilderment! Gloupss

Obviously, as @Lynkoa15 points out, SW also had to be restarted :innocent:

There are other things that are not in the right places but as long as it works!
I'll review these "system" options if something doesn't go well.

In any case, thank you to the forum for helping me and to all those who contributed to solving the PB.

Obviously you can only choose one correct answer, so sorry for those who were not chosen

Kind regards

Hello;

@Zozo_mp , it's (finally) good news, no more plaster then?
=> Remember to make a backup copy of all the Solidworks parameters each time you make an (efficient) change to an option...

Callback (if necessary :d Solidworks:)
