Christiaan Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Has anyone else come across a problem whereby bitmap images disappear after being opened or saved on an Intel-based Mac, leaving just an image placeholder (box with cross)? In our case we have a logo in our titleblock symbol, which keeps going walkabout and I think it's related to an Intel-based Mac laptop. Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I have had this prob. with VW 10 files opened in VW12. Re-importing the image fixed the problem. VW12.5.1 Intel MAC Mini OSX Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yeah we've just been repasting the image too, but I'm trying to figure out what exactly is causing us the problem to see if we can avoid it. Quote Link to comment
fsung Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Christiaan, Have you checked that it's not a class visibility issue? If the rest of your titleblock is ok, make sure that the image is in the same class as everything else in your titleblock. Back when I switched to VW, I ran into a problem with the image in my titleblock disappearing seemingly at random, sometimes with the placeholder showing, sometimes without. After a couple weeks of "Where the h*** did it go? It was there this morning/yesterday/two days ago?" and "Why does **** it show up in that document but not in this one?" Turns out, when I created the titleblock, I placed the image in a different class than the other elements, and the class in question was either greyed out or invisible in the "problem" documents. Moving the image to in the same class as the rest of the elements in the titleblock took care of the problem. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Good thought, but yes it's in the same Class as the rest of the titleblock: None. Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Is C=None set to fill=white ? Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yeah, the None class in our template is set to white fill. The actual bitmap, mind you, is set to no fill. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 There's a Document Preference that may also be contributing to this issue. In Doc Prefs, there's an option called "Bitmap Display" under the Resolution tab. When set to reduced resolution, you may see the bounding box depending on size of image and zoom factor. When set to "bounding box" all you see is the bounding box with an X through it. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 It's set to Full Resolution. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Send the file along with all of this information to tech@nemetschek.net and note that it may be a possible bug. Also send it to bugsubmit@nemetschek.net Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Okay, got to wait for it to happen again now. Quote Link to comment
