How to add PowerSurface plug-in into SW2018?

Alex Write Dec 24, 2017 10:39 AM

Hi,

I installed PowerSurface 4.2 for SW2018 and after installation I found nothing in tabs. I cannot add it to the tabs. What's wrong?

How can I have it in tabs in SW2018?

Is it available in the add-ins area?..

I'm really curious how well the PowerSurface works for you. Seen the demos and like it.

I recall something about it requiring SolidWorks to be "Run ... as Administrator".. . I'm not sure if that will fix it after it is already installed. Maybe uninstall and reinstall with "Run ... as Administrator"?

    Oh, sorry Dennis already asked if it was in Add Ins area, ... you indicated it was not.
    
    Sound like a problem with installing. Do you have multiple version of SolidWorks on your system?

      Reinstalling resolves the issue.
      Thank you all.
