VW Losing Its Mind

[Tom Klaber]

Rudina from my office - had a crash - very common - but when she opened the file - including all backups from before this happened - a subset of all the dimensions she had just spent the last 2 hours putting on moved and rotated themselves.  

 

This happened across 20 different sheets.  I can think of no mechanism for this.  It took her an hour to put everything back together.  Does anybody have any idea on what would cause this?  It feels like we are paying for Vecotorworks twice - once for the subscription - and again in all the hours dealing with glitches like this.

Project sharing involved?

Nope - just a standard file with some plans.

Never had a problem quite like this, or even close to it.  But I’m still using v2020, having never been persuaded that installing all the upgrades I’ve paid for since then were worth the trouble of transition.  What version are you using?  Are you using rotated plan mode by chance?

That's super weird. Hopefully someone investigates it.... I don't like redoing things because VW misbehaves.

@Tom Klaber, can you share the file so I can submit it for testing? 

[Tom Klaber]

Well, poor Rudina had to stay late fixing it, so it is no longer evident, but I will send you the file. 

Best,
Tom
