A number of users have reported an issue with the New Editor on certain installations and found that it crashes when STAAD.Pro is launched.
Clearly this represents a significant limitation to these users. There are two options available to address this problem:-
- After launching STAAD.Pro, click on the Configuration option in the Project Tasks panel in the Start Page. In the dialog, click on the Applications sheet and click on the option to 'Use the Legacy STAAD Editor'
Alternatively
- Ensure that STAAD.Pro is not running.
- Attached to this post is a zip file (PatchedEditorSS6.zip) which includes an updated set of files for the New Editor. Download the zip file.
- Rename your current folder, '\SproV8i SS6\STAAD\Editor' to '\SproV8i SS6\STAAD\Editor_Backup'
- Create a new folder '\SproV8i SS6\STAAD\Editor' and copy the contents of the zip file into it.
- Launch STAAD.Pro and continue as normal.
