Hi ,

 

I am unable to access my old motor catalog in fluxmotor after I re-installed the same version of Fluxmotor 2021. Could you please help with it?

Best Reagards,

Gokul

    Hi Gokul,

    Not sure why this happening. But you can try to load the catalog manually, from the location they are saved in ( by default "C:\Users\melamin\FluxMotor\FluxMotor2021\UserCatalog".

    Hi,

    I do the same, but I dont see the thumbnail for some reason, it just appears as a folder. The folder has two sub-folders called Attachments and Motors and a .xml file, which should be the catalog right?

    BR,

    Yes that is how the catalog is supposed to be defined. I noticed this behavior you mentioned when I tried to load a catalog created on newer version of Flux using an older version. Are you sure you re-installed the same version , you can check the version of the catalog by opening the xml file.
