Why and how to avoid it
Solution:
According to the screenshot, it seems that:
1- An old release is used (v40.01.00.09)
2- The material file is located on a distant machine (E:\...)
Recommendation:
Note: the user must have full Read and Write permissions to the folder location where the library is stored (default: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\AutoPIPE Vessel_ 40.04.00.008") and all subfolders.
1- Uninstall all versions of APV.
2- Delete all files under "Puser1" folder (by default here: C:\Users\Public\Documents\AutoPIPE Vessel_40.xx.xx.xx)
3- Install the more recent release v40.04.00.008, without changing the default pathnames.
4- Launch APV and open an example model file.
