Fixing HydraCAD Install Issues in AutoCAD

Your HydraCAD install failed and now nothing works in AutoCAD. Here’s the manual fix.

Open AutoCAD and type OPTIONS. Go to the Profiles tab, create a new profile

called "HydracadVersion57," and set it as current. Now, switch over to the Files tab.

This is where the magic happens. You have to manually add the Version57 program folder to

the Support File Search Path, Trusted Locations, and Customization Files.

You’re just telling AutoCAD where to find all the right stuff. After updating the

paths, click OK, restart AutoCAD, and load the HydraCAD template.

Boom, all your ribbons and toolbars are finally there.
