Greg Daneshvar GD Drafting Steel Detailer

I'm running Advance Steel 2013 on Windows 7 Pro over AutoCAD 2013.

A-Upon opening of AS 2013 I get a message saying " Could not copy Advance plot style files to CAD plot style folder! Please copy the files Manually". In AS Management tools I have setup AS to load on AutoCAD, why I'm recieving this message?

B-After creation of a model, when I select shear plate joints or stiffener another window pops up & asking for File name. Meantime on AutoCAD command line a message says " CreateInstance failed file "C:\Program Files\Gratec\Advance Steel\2013\Shared\Joints\ joint 619x64.dll". I checked in this folder & "joint 619x64.dll" exists. How can I make the Advance Steel 2013 working properly?

1-How do you apply ataggred holes on beam flange to be set on beam gauge?

2-When I click on "Exact" option in "Display type" dialig box, gauge lines do not show up. Any suggestion? I'm using AS 2013 on AutoCAD 2013
