Where did my library and hatches go?

[Anonymous]

Hey y'all...

I'd loaded AC10 on my Dell about a year ago. I quit using it in October, and hadn't started it until today. And now my libraries are gone, and I only seem to have one fill pattern / hatch.

And my composite wall setup has gone funny (tho it looks OK in the drawing... the representation in the setup window is all screwed up).

Should I expect buggy operation after such a long hiatus? or with a different key?

Should I just reinstall the software?

Thanks.

they are contained in the file itself. either open up an old project and then File>New...>Use Latest Project Settings, or do a new and reset (hold down OPT/ALT and choose File>New & Reset All

Options>Attribute Manager... - open the file you're wanting to steal from in the right-hand well, select the attributes that you want to transfer to your existing file, then 'Append'.
