Node labels missing in NetDraw

Post date: Jun 11, 2014 6:12:47 PM

A year or two ago, ucinet and netdraw were upgraded to allow Unicode labels (to represent Chinese characters, etc). A consequence of this is that if you try to open a newer ucinet dataset with an old version of netdraw, the netdraw program would not be able to read the labels. You can cure this by taking two steps. First, download and install the latest ucinetsetup.exe. Second, in ucinet, go to Options|Helper Applications and make sure the pathname for netdraw is C:\Program Files (x86)\Analytic Technologies\netdraw.exe, as in :

If you don't do this, it is possible that ucinet will try to run an old version of netdraw that is elsewhere on your hard disk. You should also remove any old desktop icons you might have that link to old versions of netdraw.
