• Choose File | Save Image As and save the diagram as a graphic file. Insert that file into a Word (or similar) document and print to PDF from there.
• Use a different PDF printer. Our tests show that PDFCreator, a free program which we use at RockWare with some frequency, prints fine.

You need the following file to be installed on your machine.
MSSTDFMT.DLL.

This is a DLL which is apparently not installed with newer versions of Windows, and it is required by RockPack III.

Solution:

1. Find this DLL:

• First search your own computer for MSSTDFMT.DLL.
• If you cannot find it locally, search your company network computers for known safe copies of this DLL (probably from installations of older software).
• If you cannot find it on your network, you can also do a search on the microsoft.com site.
• We do not recommend downloading DLLs from "DLL Download" websites. 

2. Once you locate a copy of the MSSTDFMT.DLL file, copy it to one of these system folders:

If you have a 32-bit computer: c:\windows\system32\
If you have a 64-bit computer: c:\windows\syswow64\

3. Register the DLL

• In the Search box on the Windows 10 taskbar, type in:   cmd
• You should see the "Command Prompt, Desktop App" displayed in the results.
• Right-click on this item and select Run As Administrator.
• Click Yes if prompted to confirm it's ok for this program to make changes to your system.
• At the command prompt, type one of the following and press the Enter key:
  32-bit:   regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\msstdfmt.dll
  64-bit:   regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\msstdfmt.dll
  Note that there is a space between "regsvr32" and "c:\windows\..."
• If the registration is successful you'll be notified as such.
  Here is a quick video of how to access the command prompt.

4. Start RockPack III and see if the tools in the Safety Factors Calculations menu now launch.

Contact our support group if you need additional information.

MSSTDFMT.DLL.

This is a DLL which is apparently not installed with newer versions of Windows, and it is required by RockPack III.

We have found that one easy solution to this problem is to install the RockPackIII Plane2Beta Patch.  During the installation of the patch, the missing DLL will be installed.  The installation file for the Patch can be downloaded here:

https://www.rockware.com/downloads/software/rockpack3/plane2betapackage.zip

The patch was originally designed to resolve some known errors in the PLANE failure calculations when metric units are used.  We have found that it also seems to install this missing DLL.

If you run into this problem and the installation of the patch does not resolve this, please contact tech@rockware.com.

On program launch:

Path Not Found 76

After clicking OK, they were then prompted to browse for various settings files.

Then:

Path/File access error 75

After clicking OK, this message:

Press the Preferences button (next window), find a valid path to your data files, then press Save Preferences.

On program close:

Run-time error '76': Path Not Found

The solution is quite simple.

1. Be sure you have unzipped the IgpetFiles folder to your Documents folder, as instructed by the installation PDF. It is this IgpetFiles folder that contains the files which are needed by the program. It should contain 6 sub-folders: CMAS, Controls, Data Files, Diagrams, MIN, and PC.
2. Be sure the IgpetFiles folder with said subfolders is not nested inside another folder. The hierarchy should be:
   • Documents
     • IgpetFiles
       • CMAS
       • Controls
       • Data Files
       • Diagrams
       • MIN
       • PC

   The hierarchy should NOT BE:

   • Documents
     • IgpetFiles
       • IgpetFiles
         • CMAS
         • Controls
         • Data Files
         • Diagrams
         • MIN
         • PC

Saving Files to Protected Folders

Windows Defender (when turned on) will prevent you from saving files, especially image files like .wmf files. Since this is unacceptable, the following workaround is important.

+ Open Windows Defender if you have it running, its icon is a shield.

+ Click: Virus & threat protection settings (scroll down to find Controlled folder access).

+ Click: Manage Controlled folder access.

+ Click: Allow an app through Controlled folder access.

+ Click: Add an allowed app.

This opens up a file dialog that you use to find the Igpet EXE file so you can select it for access to protected folders (e.g. Desktop, Documents). Igpet_WinYEAR.exe is what you are looking for. It should be in the directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\IgpetYEAR.

+ Click on the Igpet_WinYEAR.exe file and answer Yes when asked to approve.

+ Finally, restart your PC so the changes in Windows Defender can take effect.

+ Do the same with the Mixing.exe and CipwPlus.exe programs to more easily use them.

Now Igpet will work quite a lot better.

I am new to this Rockwork software. Am glad to keep in touch with you all, I just got access to use this site, I got some trouble with creating PowerPivot Data Model in Excel. Can anyone please give the ways to move further steps.

Any suggestion, guidelines are very much appreciated.

Thanks for considering

The original .emf file is attached as a PDF, while the .png is what is being "seen" at the other end.

Does anyone have experience with converting RockPlot3d files to 3D-PDF? I already tried this:

Export Rw3D file to dxf; from there with meshconv.exe to .ply; from there to .u3d with MeshLab and finally from there to a 3D-PDF with MiKTEX: the result was not very suitable.

The Bentley Viewer V8i does provide the possibility to just “print” a dxf to 3D-PDF. The result is better but there is still a big difference between what you see in the RockPlot3D viewer and the 3D-PDF.

Currently I try to use the Tetra4D converter plug-in on the Adobe Acrobat DC. But I am not sure if I am on the right way.

If someone already made some experience on this topic and can share that would be very helpful. May be any of the three possibilities would work with the right settings. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Any suggestions and is anyone else experiencing this? I usually design my variograms using the VARIO function.

Otherwise, the program rocks and I couldn't live (in consulting) without it.

Thanks

I have upgraded to a new computer and I am attempting to install Quicksurf 2013 on ACAD 2013.

When I type in the command “QSCONVERT” I get the error “Error in accessing the registry”.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled from the disk several times to no avail.

The program is working as a trial copy. Please advise.

It would appear that the Quicksurf programming function qsi_lcmap does not accept long file names. It seems to have the old DOS 8.3 file name limit. Can you confirm my observation? If confirmed, can the function be modified so as to accept long file names?

Thanks

I need to have it on.

Is there a system variable that I can set manually?

I am running Acad Map 3D 2013, QS 2013, Windows 7 64bit.

I'd like to model the area with a very tight (2'x2') grid, if I can, with exponential kriging, so I'll get nice, smooth contours and honor all the trench and pumping well data.

Any suggestions on getting this model to work other than coarsening up the grid to 4'x4' or greater?

I'm attaching a zip file containing the DWG with the points, a configuration file that represents what I'd like to use, and a surface file with a successful model at 4'x4' and the point data.

I am trying to export the water type from the Data Analysis tab in AqQA. I have hundreds of water samples in my data sheet, but am not finding an easy way to export the results from the data analysis tab, other than copying and pasting each result separately. Anyone know of an easier way to do this?

Thanks

Thanks for any feedback!

I'm using Autocad 2011 and the corresponding Quicksurf 2011. I have a 64 bit Windows 7 Enterprise OS, 64-bit Autocad and Quicksurf, and 8 GB of memory.

• Choosing Edit | Copy or Edit | Copy as Bitmap (where you can adjust resolution and output size) and pasting into Word (or similar) to print from there.
• Choosing File | Save Image As, saving the diagram as an EMF file, and inserting that into Word to print from there.

Also, when I try to make new files from my Chart Library that had been created with the custom color swatches, the colors are being linked differently than how they were configured when the template was created, even when I load the proper color scheme. When opening a file that was created with the custom scheme and checking its colors, the color swatch picker shows a different color than the one that is on-screen.

I notice that these issues were addressed in the Windows update 6.0.16. When will custom colors work properly on Mac? Please advise.
