DB TECH DETAILER

[Chieftain]

The file type registration does work. It worked with 4.0, 5.0 and works with 6.0, but tehre are many things that can happen in windows that will stop it from working. If something else had that part of the registry open or what not it will not update them.

you can fix it manually by:

Go into Explorer, tools, options, file types, find the "first floor plan" entry, click edit, select "open" from the list of duhickies, and click edit. Then change the path to your chief exe file to match where your chief 6.0 file is. It migth read something like "C:\chief60\chief60x-32.exe" to get chief 6. I think that's the default path for 6.0. Then just click ok, enter, save whatever to get out of all those boxes your in and close exporer and try out the detailer.

Also I have done the same procedure for first, second, third, fourth, fith and foundation plans so that I can open them up directly from explorer. Oh and layout pages too.
