Guest Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Nicholas, I have had similar problems with Polylines when shifting vertices - the hour glass of death appears and it's goodnight VW - quit start again and all of that. Hardscape tool will do it sometimes as will my Plant Symbols. I think there is some sort of bug but have not tried to isolate it.My computer is fairly fast (I know not a mac) AMD 3800 dual core, 2 gig ram and 256 graphics and normally nothing else at all running - I use a different machine for email, word processing and general office tasks. I have arrived at the point when editing polys I do it very slowly and wait after each command before moving on and that has helped a little. Quote Link to comment
propstuff Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Update on this: sometimes it pauses and crashes, other times I get the following: quote: VECTOR~1.EXE- Application Error The instruction at"0x66868d14" referenced memory at "0x7ffdcfff". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program Quote Link to comment

propstuff Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Is there any news on this??. It's starting to get unmanagable for us with some of our large files. As far as a sample file is concerned; I can make it happen with any new file within about 6 edits of a revision cloud. Please help. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted March 7, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 7, 2007 Nicholas, is this limited to large files? Your earlier (initial) post described an empty (new) file...? Quote Link to comment
propstuff Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) not limited to large files. I can get it to happen with a new file. BTW, The office here is using LM12.5 on XP over a server, but the same thing will happen when working off the local machine. I'll have to check what happens on my Mac regards, N.

SteveK Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I think this, or something similar that I experienced, was a bug in 12.5. I have not had it happen since applying the 12.5.1 update. Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Is there any news on this??. It's starting to get unmanagable for us with some of our large files. As far as a sample file is concerned; I can make it happen with any new file within about 6 edits of a revision cloud. Please help. What would we do without the ability to upload and then download then upload files ... install ... de-install ... reinstall... this sure reminds me of the old days when beta testers used BBS & mailed floppies back & forth ... how much productive time is being wasted with all this ?? If this trend continues then we should all invest in the makers of Installer Software .. that's where the real $$$ is .. not in managing CAD chaos... I'm eager to totally upgrade .. but so gun shy ... now that even a simple proven procedure will be sufficient to break the workflow and take down the app. Sure... for newbies this is just the price of admission to the wonderful World of VW ... but for us Old Dogs ... it's simply devastating. Please Help. ... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted March 7, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 7, 2007 FWIW, Nicholas and Islandmon, I can't reproduce the problem on a PowerBook G4 using 12.5.1. Nicholas, you should definitely upgrade to 12.5.1 if you haven't already. Quote Link to comment
propstuff Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Robert, I've just applied the 12.5.1 updater and it seems to have fixed the crashes. I'll let you know if it re-occurs. cheers, N. Quote Link to comment
