After activation of the 2014 Evolve today, I tried to move over my old materials and texture files to the new folder. But bad things happened and I reinstalled the entire Evolve 2014 but now it dose not start up properly. I get nothing. In the preference dialog I can see, that the program has no interface theme chosen. When I chose one nothing happens. I can see in preferences, that the program has no path to materials. I think some sort of directory has been corrupted.

 

I have done some more reinstalls but it seem to be the same. 

 

I can still use Evolve 9.5 I have on mu iMac...that is nice.

    You will probably need to remove the Evolve.ini file from the directory.

     

    It is located in a hidden folder so to find it follow these steps.

     

    Click on your desktop so that the Finder is active in the menu.

    Click on the 'GO' menu.

    Once the 'GO' menu is open hold down the 'ALT' key (this will show you the hidden 'Library' file).

    Click on the 'Library' file.

    Follow this path: /Library/Application Support/solidThinking/2014.3959/Evolve/Config (I think you are using version 3959.  If not select your version).

    Once you locate the Evolve.ini file, drag it out of the folder and on to your desktop.

    Restart Evolve.

     

    If this solves your issue you can delete the Evolve.ini file from your desktop.

     

    Let us know if this solves your issue or not.

     

    Thanks,
