Bruce Kieffer Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I like to keep my constraints palette in the lower right corner of my screen. After upgrading to VW Architect 12.5 it won't "stick." I set it there, quit, reopen VW, and it has moved an inch or two left. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Bruce, it *might* work to go set up everything as you like, then go into the workspace editor and choose to "edit a copy of the workspace". Simply rename the workspace and click done. Let me know if that solves the problem... Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 That did not help. When I click OK, the screen refreshes and the constraints palette moves right. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 I meant to say it moves left! Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Is the workspace folder by chance locked/read-only? The workspaces? It sounds as if you are able to edit workspaces, so perhaps a weird issue is cropping up. I am able to place the constraints palette in my lower right hand corner of the screen without any issues. The "available" space is reduced by the Apple Dock, so perhaps you are placing the palette beneath that dock and when we reload, and make sure that the palette fits in the window, we are moving it vertically above the dock?

pufferfish Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'm having a couple of similar problems with my recently upgraded 12.5. My workspaces won't 'stick' either. Everytime I re-open the program I have to re-select the workspace I was working in before. Additionally, although I'm not sure this is related, every time I try to use the "Fit Walls to Roof" command the program freezes/crashes. Just a little annoying. Anyone experiencing similar things?

Ray Libby Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 As Lyndsey suggested, have you checked if the folder or file are locked or read only? Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 They are unlocked. I checked. Also, I can make other changes that do "stick." Quote Link to comment
David Bertrand Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Check to see whether you have a templates directory and a default template file. Quote Link to comment
Ken Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 This occurs for me in my Powerbook. The Constraints palette seems to hate one particular spot in the lower left screen, and just by about a quarter inch. Swapping with the Attributes palette worked for me, and I don't use my laptop that often. Perhaps there are "undesirable areas" of the screen for the palette? Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Check to see whether you have a templates directory and a default template file. Got them both. This is a bug introduce in 12.5. There is no fix other than repairing the program code. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Bruce, Did you try to create a new user account, install VW, and adjust the workspaces? (per our discussion the other day) If that still doesn't work, zip or stuff your workspace and send it to tech@ along with a detailed description of the problem. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Katie, I did the new user business and there was no change. It happens on both my Macs. I am sending the workspace from my PowerBook G4 now. If you want the one from the G5 ask and I'll send that too.
