Rarely it happens that by exiting Modeling (or crashes or .. or) the files written into the user customize dir are not well written and therefore can not be loaded any more.

In your case it is the case for the file sd_data.lsp as we can see in the screen shot ( BTW: thanks for the helpful screen shot! 🙂 )

I see two possibilities:

rename the file sd_data.lsp in the directory shown in the screen shot (that is your user Customize directory)
- start modeling again and see if that already helps
if not: rename the whole user Customize directory . e.g. DineshJangir > DineshJangir_OFF
- start modeling again and see if that already helps

It looks to me that you / your cad admin has redirected the user customization to a central server directory on a share called "TS-Tools" .. I can not really recommend doing so. As soon as there are tiny hick ups with the intranet you might run into that behavior again. Having those user customization files locally (as per default) but synchronize. that dir with with server located directory e.g. with the help of robocopy within a batch file might be more safe. (doing so before starting modeling)

If you are a little familiar with LISP files, you can also try to edit the file sd_data.lsp in the area where the keyword :cda-angle is mentioned. Just remove that sequence and look that opening / closing brackets do match again. A good editor will assist you doing so.

Some detailed information about the files loaded you can find in the ===>> documention . Just look for the file name involved.

Hi Wolfgang,

We tried with the option 1 initially but didn't work, we tried changing the folder structure & a restart its working.

We had raised a support ticket with PTC but yet to get an update form them. But with your help issue is solved.

Thanks for your timely help in providing the solution.

Thanks
