    The fact that it thinks that cdsDefTechLib has a layer called L12 is a bit strange. I'm wondering if you've somehow ended up with a local definition of cdsDefTechLib which was used in a stream in operation (and hence layers have been created by that), or maybe that you've somehow overwritten the installation definition of cdsDefTechLib from whichever stream it is coming from.

    So check your cds.lib file to see if it is locally defined, and have a look in <ICinstDir>/tools/dfII/etc/cdsDefTechLib (you might want to check the similar location in the ASSURA installation too) to see if files have been modified there recently... at least more  recently than the other files in the installation.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
