Woo—things are not improving with this file. It jumped in one File…Save operation to double it's size from 624 MB to 1.35 GB. Ok, so, at least I can rescue the thing by File…New, then Layer import, don't forget to check Import Layer Objects, right> Did that, to find not all the layer objects came over, missing things from many layers. Huge bummer. I'm thinking to go back several backups and re-build from there.

Super, thank you @rDesign

Hey @JuanP—thank you for the request…how do I access the complete crash log at this time?

Wow VWX crash upon opening a document. Note I had just saved that file and quit the app. Double-clicked the file, app went through the usual loading contortions, opened the file and then instantly vanished. Sonoma 12.4.5. MBP M1 32GB

Intermittently to me as well. Hasn't happened since I updated to SP 5 (so far…)

Thank you @JuanP

OMG. "…All of the crap that we spend hours needing to do by hand instead of getting to actually design things.…"

@Jesse Cogswell—"…the day that a scenic designer presents a rendering of their set made with this tool with all kinds of crazy lighting, and the director turning to me and saying, "I want that. Make it look like that." And I know that day is coming.…" It has already come for me. And it was as unpleasant as I expected.

if you're in 2023 or 2024, Shaded allows more than eight lights and shadows. check your document settings - this'll allow any number of options

@BartHays—precisely why I shared the image with prompts because nothing in that prompt to me called out a specific artist / creator.

@Jeff Prince—ya, that's in part why I included the prompts, none of which indicate a specific artist. And wowzer, lawyers guns n money.

In the bottom right corner there is some chicken scratch which looks quite a bit like a signature—not mine. Thanks for the pro tip on duking it out with the magenta cast @Jeff Prince

I sometimes go to 600dpi not that I want to but…

@htranbos Sheet layer viewport or design layer? If Sheet Layer VP, make sure your Sheet DPI is set high enough for publishing - I often use 300 DPI.

@Cody Worthmanˆif you mean the red diagonal striped box, that tells you the state of that viewport needs refreshing

I wonder if this is due to symbols being built not on 0,0 causing them to jump away when entering the symbol container to edit

I believe one can select all sheets in the sheet tab of the nav palette, right click and edit the sheet dpi for all at once

@JustinVH—thank you @JustinVH ; I actually did not see those other default texture options.

In order to change the black blob part, one normally edits the Resource "Default Instrument Texture" to a lighter tone, such a s 50% grey.

thanks for those Dave and Claes

AGREED

@Jeff Prince Thanks for that analysis, opinion and wish. fully supported here.

@Christiaan O yes O yes please

Super! Looking forward to seeing the solutions offered there
