timaga Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 My VWX file, which is about 106 mB (Exterior elevations)crashes every time I edit and exit a symbol. It is also spreading; any files linked to it will also crash the same way. Is there any way to repair the database that contains the symbols? Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 It would help us if you would create a signature with your version of Vectorworks and computer specs including OS. Is this one symbol or all symbols in the file? How many symbols? Quote Link to comment
timaga Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sorry about that; I'm sure that helps. It happens when I edit ANY symbol in the affected file. There are 130 symbols in one file, but many more are linked to other files. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Have you tried copying and pasting everything into a new file? What do you mean when you say "many more are linked to other files". Workgroup References? Quote Link to comment
timaga Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I haven't tried that, because its complicated... There are multiple sheet layers and design layers, and there are referenced viewports and well as workgroup referenced layers. It would be a lot more complicated than a simple "cut and paste into place" Quote Link to comment
