Issue:

After installing ZWCAD, why does the official website open directly instead of the software when clicking the Dimension in ZWCAD command in ZW3D?

Causes:

This issue occurs because ZW3D utilizes the COM component method to launch ZWCAD, which is completed by pointing to ZWCAD.exe /Automation through the ZWCAD.Application value in the registry.

However, the system cannot locate the ZWCAD.Application value, resulting in a failure to launch.

Solution:

  1. Press Win + R on the keyboard to open the Run dialog box, enter regedit, and click OK to open the Registry Editor.
    Navigate to the path Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZWCAD.Application\CLSID and record the Data value.
  2. Navigate to the path Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{Value_Recorded_In_Step_1}\LocalServer32 and check whether the Data value ZWCAD.exe /Automation exists.
  3. If the path in Step 2 cannot be located, return to the Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT directory,
    find the path Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZWCAD.Application.(Target_Version_Number)\CLSID corresponding to the required version, and copy the Data value.
  4. Return to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZWCAD.Application\CLSID and paste the copied Data value.
  5. Restart the computer and restart the software.
