When you start Quickmap, you get this error:
Run Setup.exe to install DWG TrueView 2016 – English
Typically you might see this after upgrading Windows to Windows 10. The DWG TrueView error occurs when Autodesk Viewer has been corrupted, often by the new Windows 10 upgrade.
To fix this, reinstall Autodesk Viewer. If you still have this error after reinstalling Autodesk Viewer, reinstall Quickmap.
❗ This is now fixed in the Quickmap Version 8 install. To fix this, install Quickmap v8. Installing Quickmap v8 will also fix the issue in Quickmap v7.
