Thanks, I was thinking it was a vw plugin but have since remembered that some one sent it to me. it was tidier then this one but this will do the trick. Cheers Oh and our retailer sent us the link for the new update 12.5.1 which apparently fixes the autosave crash bug. (build #65397)

A general question. I can't find the equivalent of ACAD copy command (select object, pick a start point, pick an end point and a copy is created the distance and bearing that was defined by the first and second point. Make sense? I lost my beloved Offset Duplicate plugin which did just this. A one step copy command with no farting around making a duplicate and then moving it. It had a companion plugin that did the same thing as the move command in ACAD, That is you could move an object by picking a start and stop point. You didn't have to type in the coordinates. Is there anything similar left in VW 12? Does anyone have the old one that they could email me?

I should say too, we are working on shiny new dual core imacs with monster screens and 2 GB's of memory. Wow . what could make these babies crash. VW12.5 for one thing.

Good day, I too have been having files corrupted. In my case the files are from different jobs, different sizes. One thing I noticed in the "known issues" was that VW12.5 has a problem reading and writing to folders that have more than 31 characters. I changed my folder names. No help. I was autosaving to a backup and forgot to manually save when the autosaves occured (belt and suspenders approach) VW corrupted the backup file and left me with the drawing I had started with 3 hours earlier. Colleague suggested that the problem was 12.5.1 so I deleted VW 12.5.1 and re-installed 12.5.0. So far, no problems. However, I know realize I deleted my precious Offset Duplicate command which I have been coveting since Nemetschek dispensed with this indispensible tool. If anyone remembers it, it was similar to the Autocad Copy command. Select an object, pick a start point , pick and end point and voila, a new copy appears at the end point. What could be simpler. Where is the equivalent in VW 12. I can't find it and it's driving me crazy, its' driving me nuts!
