3DCONFIG reports, “There are no hardware drivers available”

After adding a custom folder to AutoCADs “device driver search path” (ACADDRV), 3DCONFIG may report that there are no hardware drivers available. This only occurs when the custom directory is listed before the out of the box location for drivers.

 

Workarounds: Add your custom DRV folder after the “out of the box” value in Options -> Files or:

(setenv "ACADDRV" ... )

Replace … with the desired folder(s).

First Appeared: AutoCAD 2007
Status as of 2008 SP1: Still reproducible.
Status as of 2009: (unknown)
