Good news. I was working on 5 drawings at the time the update occured and they must have become corrupt. I took the information in those drawings and transferred them to a drawing I did a "save as" on prior to the update. Now I can access all layers and the screen doesn't go blank. Thanks Katie for making me think it was a file problem not a program problem. Back to work! Mark.

The auto save is set at 5 min. Any Macheads know how to revert back to 10.4.5?

After opening and while working on a file. The frequency is about every tens seconds or so. There seems to be nothing specific that triggers the window going blank.

I ran Disk Utility and ran the permission repair. The repair disk button was not active. I restarted and the access between layers is OK now but the screen still goes blank until I zoom or scroll. Could it be a RAM issue? Let's resolve this.

I will try the Disk Utility as you suggest katie. I will let you know. Thanks.

I just updated and found numerous issues with Vectorworks 12 with my Imac G5 PPC. 1. I cannot access one layer from another when show/snap/modify others is selected. 2. It seemed that each drawing I opened doubled in size ( from 1mb to 2mb) making the redraw slow. I am running 512mb of memory I know but prior to the upgrade it was fine. 3. Everything on screen located in the VW window disappears. It reappears when I zoom in or out! Any help or some light shed on this would very, very helpful. I am making a living using Vectorworks. When its down, I'm down. Thanks in advance.
