  1. I've checked all the workspaces and have 'import PDF' under File>Import>Import PDF, but no matter which workspace I try I still get the error message saying that the plug-in is missing. We don't have the plug-in file in the plug-ins folder of the application on any of our copies and I can't even find it from older versions. Like other users, we have images missing from files as a result and don't want to have to go back and change them all to jpegs. Any ideas where we can find this mystery plug-in file?
  2. I am having this problem as well and have been unable to find any missing plug-in. It has also meant that drawings converted from 12.5 to 2008 lost the pdfs that were in the files. Does anyone know how to fix this or where to get the missing plug-in?
  3. I have just had the problem again where shift-click won't add objects to the selection. I tried changing workspaces, but it is the same in each one. I also tried re-starting just VW but this doesn't work either, so I will head off now and re-start the computer. Again. Thanks for your help and would welcome any other suggestions.
  4. I have checked the other thread recommended by Ray Libby and it is certainly possible that user preferences/ permissions etc are to blame but my computer was rebuilt from scratch with a clean install of the OS and all software only a week ago. The restart does fix it each time it happens but is not ideal when it happens multiple times every day. I'm still waiting for it to happen again so I can test the workspace change and will post again then.
  5. I haven't tried this but will do so next time it happens and report back. Thanks.
  6. We are having a persistent problem in our office where, usually a couple of hours into a VW session, the shift, control, option and command keys suddenly stop working. This, of course, means that we can't click-select multiple objects or access most of the keyboard shortcuts so it is very annoying. Although it doesn't seem to affect any other applications (ie the keys in question still function normally in other applications), we have to restart not just VW but the whole computer to get the keys working again in VW. Has anyone else had this problem or do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
  7. Thanks for your response, Donne. I have now found and checked the correct file which is not locked, so locking doesn't seem to be the problem. I am happy to send the file if you could let me know where to send it. Thanks.
  8. I don't have a 'SavedSettings.xml' file; I have a 'VectorWorks Preferences.xml' file in Settings folder under VW2008 but this file is not locked. The column width reverts even within the same VW session, so each and every time I open Organization I have to change it again. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help.
  9. On all the tabs in 'Organization' except for 'Design Layers', the width of the different columns automatically adjusts to fit the content (ie class names, reference source etc). The columns under the 'Design Layers' tab are all a fixed width. This means that all the layer names are cut short and the layer scales can't be read. I have to manually widen the columns every time I open the tab, which is a real nuisance. Is there any way to adjust this so that the columns automatically fit the content? Using VW 2008 Architect on Mac OSX Thanks
  10. Can anyone help with this issue? Thanks.
  11. Thanks Katie. I tried this out and have a couple of further questions. I can successfully import classes and layers from other files but cannot see how to import sheet layer viewports. I would like to be able to do this so I can set up a standard viewport with standard visibilities/ class overrides etc for the whole office to use. I can import a sheet layer and assume that this would bring along a viewport if it had one on it (I can't save with the trial version so can't try this), but cannot seem to directly import a sheet layer viewport. On the same topic I tried using the eyedropper tool to match the attributes of two sheet layer viewports. I set the tool to copy class visibility and class overrides. I've trialled it a few times and it does not do anything at all to the second viewport. Any ideas? Thanks.
  12. I have just received a demonstration copy of VW 2008 (Architect) and am interested in checking out the 'Import Drawing Structure' mechanism. I can't find it in any of the menus/ tools and also can't find it in help. Can anyone tell me how to access this function? Thanks.
