Problem:

Stress Isometric does not create a drawing file, why? Reason #4.

Solution: 

Answer: Program failing to launch 2nd executable

The application needs to launch a separate executable to convert the *.L00 files to isometric drawing.

Answer the following questions:

1. Check in the model directory, is a "modelname.PCF" file generated?
2. Check in the model directory, is a "modelname.apiso" file generated?

If answered YES  to both questions and still no Isometric drawing was created, then most likely cause would be that the Operating System is blocking AutoPIPE's ability to launch that separate *.EXE process "ExecISO.exe" from installation directory.

Confirm Iso Viewer selected under Isometric Manager Settings and try again.
