My Edit / Utility menu went missing. Where do I go to make it reappear?
I think there is something suss with your installation. I'm sure there is no option to turn them off - for obvious reasons, and I have just checked (again) and they cannot be hidden behind anything. I therefore submit that you haven't done anything accidentally, and re-installing is quicker than trying to work out what happened.

Tried editing the file. Nothing. Deleted the file. Still no menu. Copied the file from another installation of DataCAD 12. Still no menu. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled DataCAD and it shows up now. Strange.
Wow that is strange. Usually blasting away the gui file will do it worst case. Glad you got it back!

The missing menu was on a new laptop. I thought I had used it since installation to test, but not sure. THEN (this is a part I didn't mention) I tried to install DataCAD X3 on the laptop too to test it before installing on the desktop machine. I opened X3 and the Edit / Utility menu was not there either. Opened 12 up and that's when I first noticed the missing menu there too.
I uninstalled both 12 and X3 from the laptop and reinstalled 12 and its updates. All menus are there.
Could installing X3 have caused both 12 & X3 to lose that menu?????
After installing 12 on the laptop I copied the entire 12 file from my desktop and replaced the newly installed 12 on the laptop with it. Seems to work fine. And I have Mark Madura's head in the Projection menu.
My next experiment is to try installing X3 on the laptop again. Stay tuned.

Bob,
What version of Win7 is on the laptop? It may work better to install DataCAD after disabling the user protection (or whatever it is called?), especially if it is a 64bit version.

Installed X3 again. Everything went fine until the hardlock question. Clicked to replace current file. BLUE SCREEN!!!!
Rebooted, went thru install again, did not replace hardlock file when prompted. Tried opening the DataCADs but got hardlock errors. Rebooted. Plugged in the hardlocks, they installed. Everything seems to work now.
FYI, the laptop is Windows 7 Home Edition.

Hi Bob,
So it is a 32bit version? I'm glad it worked ... eventually. Somethings is not quite kosher with the installer, maybe?

Dang, It happened again installing version 18. What ever it is it effected all my versions on my laptop and that's back to version 14!
I guess I will just uninstall all my versions and install just 18. (sigh)

Same laptop but new hard drive since the first issue. Still using windows 7.
Found the offending problem.
I uninstalled version 14, then uninstalled 15 when at the end of the uninstall it told me it could not find C:Windows\sysWOW64\AECExtension.dll to delete. Hmmmmm.
Copied the file from my decktop machine. Installed it on my laptop and now the remaining DataCADs displays all those menus.
Well, I don't use 14 & 15 anyway.
