"TFDIR_SETTING points to an invalid path" error


Product(s):OpenBuildings Designer
Version(s):CONNECT Edition
Area:Configuration

Problem

When launchingĀ OpenBuildings Designer you might get an error stating that "TFDIR_SETTING points to an invalid path". Sometimes, this error may be associated with another error regarding "Default.lay" and/or "Default.trs" file(s).

Solution

This problem may occur when you are appending the already assigned value of the TFDIR_SETTING with a path to a custom settings folder. OpenBuildings Designer supports only one path for the TFDIR_SETTING variable.

It is recommended to overwrite the already assigned value if you would like to assign a path to a custom settings folder for this variable. This should resolve the error.
