AutoCAD Plant 3D

[#1]

There is a problem with the Student Version of Plant 3D 2013.  The program will throw an exception error with the following message.

When creating a new P&ID file.

Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application.  If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.

Filer error

When entering Project Setup

Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application.  If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.

Error Decrypting Data

I saw an question in Ask The Expert for Lori Wu on 6/19/2012 that this problem has been identified and Autodesk is working on it; however, I have seen messages for this problem since 3/2012.

How can we find out the status of this problem and if a fix has been identified?

Thanks.

Bump. It's still an issue.

I am having this problem not only on my home computer, but on 2 computers at school as well.  I have looked everywhere for a solution to this problem with no success, and have even called Autodesk only to get denied of help because I am a student and not a registered user.  This program is completely unusable since you cant create a new drawing from any component in project manager.  Autodesk, please find a solution to this problem.

Does this happen on new Projects, or just the Sample one already installed?

Hi!

I get the same problem every time when I am opening the program.

Attached the error.

I scanned whole computer, I installed on another one, tried version 32 also on a 64 still same error. Should I try a cracked version   to end all possibilities ? ( please read it as a joke ) ).

Now seriously is any fix for this ?

[#6]

It happens on any project. You cannot create any type of new drawing without getting the error. I'm using the trial version right now and it works perfectly.

I am an instructor in Texas and all of my students are experiencing the same issue.  We are more than halfway through a semester, and the curriculum is tough without the ability to be able to work from home.  I experienced, personally with the student version, an exception after I opened my project and went to start a new drawing.  Any drawing, P&ID or Plant 3D.  So it isn't just the default project that is the issue.  Our projects work fine on campus, but not at home.  Please advise if there is a possible hot fix or any kind of solution.

Thanks,

Donna
