Freezing - File corruption in VW8.5


Recommended Posts

One of our Architects worked 10 hours on a drawing yesterday. This morning she cannot open it up. There is no error message, VW just freezes. Clock stops, mouse pointer frozen, have to force-quit Vectorworks.

When I try to open the file, the top right corner says "Reading" and counts from 0% to 100%. So far so good. It then says "Checking" and jumps straight from 0% to 58%, where the computer freezes.

I have tried this on a G3 and a G4, using VW8.5.1 and VW8.5.2, running Mac OS8.6 and OS9.0.4, with 50MB and 200MB of memory allocated to VW . Exactly the same result every time.

I've not seen anything like this on VW before, and there doesn't seem to be any "Recover" feature like MiniCAD had.

Any suggestions anyone for what might have caused this, or how to save the poor girl having to repeat 10 hours detail drawing?

John.
