    best video card for 2014 architect with renderworks

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I thought I had a good video card, I researched all of the recommended & min requirements before purchasing this one I have. But now with 2014 VW Arch & RenderWorks, everytime I apply any texture to a file with a single 3d object it really slows down my computer &/or puts it in a stall & sometimes locks it up & have to force close the program. I now have the money to upgrade if I need to & if I do I want to max the card out in every way I can that helps VW from stalling.

    Thanks for any advice!

    v2014 crash monster

    in Architecture

    Posted

    Look out to all, my new version of VW Architect with RenderWorks 2014 has major crashing problems. The crashing is often, sometime twice in one day. The worst part is loosing work already saved & having to redraw what you already did. Yes I use auto save every 30 min., but what I save in-between I loose after a crash, even though I save often.

    Also, not working;

    - that shows signs of problems with the program is the eye dropper tool does not make any sounds, but everything else does.

    - when holding the Shift key when drawing a line or moving objects does not hold to any preset angle or hold the x or y axis. This works sometimes & sometimes not

    - the entourage figures image symbols - gray are not visible, but can select & see the grab handles & see it in the object info box.

    Looking for a fix to these problems, I use this program for 50 + hours a week at a fast paced job. Thinking about going back to VW 2013 because it was more stable

    Problems printing to HP T120 large format printer now, but not before

    I've been printing to my new HP T120 large format printer with 24" roll bond paper. Purchased it may of last year & worked great right out of the box for 7 months @ 50 to 60 hours a week. No problems, now that the contract work is over I brought the computer my equipment to my home office & re-connected everything the same as before. Now it is clipping the bottom half of a 24"x36" page size for no reason. I've re-installed the printer driver & made sure all firmware is up to date. I can print from other software & PDF's on a whole 24"x36" page size with no problems. It seems to be only VectorWorks. I was using VW 2013 architect & just installed the 2014 version & same thing keeps happening.

    Any suggestions ? Please help, soon starting another contract project & get rent for my printer, if it works.

    Thanks!

    Anybody else having files not saving

    in Architecture

    I'm using VectorWorks Architect SP5 build 168051 on a PC. After working a while on a file it quits saving the file even when I select save. When I use save as & say yes to over right the existing file it does not over right the file. The only way I can save the file after doing more work to it is by selecting save as & adding a letter or number to the file name each time I save the file. It is saving to the back up folder but not to the original folder. I am working 10 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week and this is making me think the 2012 is not a reliable version.

    Is anybody else out there having this same problem ?

    Thanks for any help!
