michaelquinn Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 sorry for the bad spelling, just read back over the post. is this an artlantis problem i have re-instaled it and still no joy. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 You're better off asking this question on the Artlantis forum: http://www.artlantis.com/support/forum/liste.php?fid=atl_import_us But, in any case, what preference settings are you using to export? Class, texture, fill or pen? Quote Link to comment
michaelquinn Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 fill background colour - its what i have always used but on friday it just stopped working. Quote Link to comment
michaelquinn Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Any suggestions ? I'm getting really desperate, I think it must be to do with the material-colour correspondence. does anyone know how to import one of these. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Have you tried exporting a new file and referencing in the materials from the old file? Quote Link to comment
michaelquinn Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 sorry, i have not been using it that long and dont know how to do that. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Export a new file (instead of updating your existing one) and then open the file in Artlantis. Then go to File > Use Reference File and select your old file and make sure you have the middle option checked (with the little 3D box icon). Quote Link to comment
michaelquinn Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 no that does not work as the objects have not exported. Good suggestion all the same. the vectorworks export is the problem i think, not the artlantis. i just don't have a clue how to get it back working again i didnt change any setting but VW will no longer link the fills to artlantis colours.

Christiaan Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 What about reinstalling the plugin and making sure you have the latest one? Quote Link to comment
michaelquinn Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 will try christiaan, thanks. there seems to be something wrong with entire programme as i am now also getting phantom objects when i view the model in GL - large exrudes that don't show up in wireframe. its running really slow as well..................i just don't know whats up.
