Hello everyone! 

I am having some issues with the default catalogs not wanting to opening in the imperial version?  Metric opening fine but i cannot get it to go away now.  Even starting a new project, restarting the computer, startinf from a template, etc...  nothing.

open to suggestions.

thanks

Is the imperial catalogue not listed?
if so, check your paths in SETTINGS

Not even an error msg?
Can you remember the last time you would have modified it? Can you check the date on ENV7 Master Catalog.bdb (or whichever version you're using) in Windows Explorer?
I'm just wondering if it has somehow become corrupt. I've had that happen several versions back but haven't heard of it happening recently.

That sounds definitely like a corrupted catalog. We have a default catalog on our website here: http://www.cadsoft.com/faqs.php that you can download. Scroll near the bottom of that page to find it and download it.

What corrupts a catalog? When Envisioneer is shutting down it goes through a process of saving your catalog with any changes you may have made on the fly. If you shut down your computer during Envisioneer's shut down process, you interrupt that saving process and corrupt your catalog. Always let Envisioneer shut down completely before shutting off your computer.

I also highly, highly recommend saving a copy of your .bdb file (your catalog file) if you customize it. So you can always reload it if you have an issue.
