hi, I get a VW message (in the message bar at the bottom of the workspace) which says "done, but with erro on page". But I cannot see anything special. I was saving my file when this happened. Does anyone know what this message means? cheers, anaisr.

Hi katie, The other computers are running 10.5.1 Can you find out if it is a known bug in 10.5.0? When is 11 coming out? cheers, anais.

Hi katie, Indeed, only one of our VW has this problem, it is the 10.5.0. Is this not a reported bug? anais

Hi Katie, I get the message when I create the Batch Render. I haven't moved my Vectorworks file. I have VW 10.5.0 and haven't updated. I have VW, Mechanical, Renderworks etc... anais.

Hi katie, No there are no folders or files with those names. a./

Hi everybody, I am currently creating orbit animations (around the center of the object) of an object with a "stainless steel" texture, and so highly reflective. For an orbit animation, it is the "camera" that turns around the object and not the object that spins on itself. This means the lighting changes according to what view of the object the camera has. My animation look kind of funny because of this, the lighting performs a sort of "flashing" effect, very ugly. I've tried using only "ambient light", but the flashing persits. What exactly does ambient light do? Is there a way to obtain a uniform lighting from all sides of the object? I thought of spreading some lights around a circular path around my object, but it is quite high and complicated, I need to put lights at different hights and the shadow effects become very messy. Has anyone encountered this problem? Does anyone have any solutions? anaisr.

Hi, it seemed to be a problem with our server. We've fixed it now, and I've managed to recover the file, great. thanks, anaisr.

Hi katie, What I mean is changes that cannot be done in the 'Edit sheet' dialogue box. For example, if I want to change the view of the sheet, I need to go to the sheet, change the view, and then save a new sheet with the same name. Is there any way around that? anais.

hi mark I have tried different combinations of letters, numbers, with and without spaces etc... the default 'Batch-job1' (or something like that but I am sure it has a hyphen in it) does not work. Neither does 'name', 'render' or 'name1' etc.. cheers, anais.

hi katie, no. I've never used batch render before. anais.

Hi, I have created a file that uses many workgroup references and imported symbols. I have saved it many times while I was building my assembly and when I was finished and closed the file, I got some sort of message "Data has been corrupted. Will save as much data as possible", something like that. This morning, trying to open the file i get the following msg: "This files is damaged. It will open with as much data as possible." I click OK and then get "Runtime Error! Program:C:\Program Files\Vectorworks10.5\Vectorworks.exe Abnormal Program Termintion" which is somethings to read as vw crashes. The file is on our server. I have transferred it to my computer and still cannot open it. Nor can I can I open any files that are workgroup referenced to this file. Should I keep hope that my file will be re-usable one day? anaisr.

Hi, If i enter a sheet and then modify it, is there any other way of saving this than saving a second sheet with the same name as the first that overwrites it? cheers,anaisr.

hi, I am setting up a batch rendering, and cannot give my renderings jobs names. The msg VW gives is: "The operating system cannot create a file with this job name." I have tried changing the name of the job and none of them are accepted. This means I cannot use the Batch Render. Does anyone have an idea of why? cheers, anaisr.
