Hi All, Vectorworks 2019 permanently corrupted 2 files I've been working on in the past 5 hours. By the looks of it, there must have been conflicted information in worksheets and custom records being used by datatags. This happened when I modified a custom record from a worksheet linked to a datatag. In another case, i modified the record directly, and the program crashed. Don't know what the cause is, but afterwords, vectorworks wouldn't want to open the files again. This is very stressful, especially since I have a deadline. I will lose 5 Hours of work unfortunately due to this problem. 😖 I've updated to SP v 1.2 prior to corruption. There was a consistent amount of crashing due to worksheet malfunctions. This is the first time I've had VW permanently corrupt 2 files. I can't seem to be able to upload it either, perhaps because I'm currently writing from abroad. Please let me know if there is a way for them to be recovered. Also, this is what the .lck file generated <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <FileLock> <FileLockInformation> <User>Samuel</User> <Computer>DESKTOP-D9T06VJ</Computer> <LockedTime>3624248431</LockedTime> </FileLockInformation> </FileLock> Thank you in advance!
