jeremyb Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) VW10 has started to crash when I try to duplicate a plant. Taking advice from elsewhere on this forum, I reset all plugins and all my plant labels now read -ID. Help! Edited September 17, 2013 by jeremyb Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 17, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 17, 2013 To clarify, do you mean Vectorworks 10 or Vectorworks 2010? What operating system are you encountering this problem on? Does the problem happen in all your Vectorworks files, or just this one? Quote Link to comment
jeremyb Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 sorry, VW2010 SP4. Currently only happening in one file. OS is OSX 10.8.5 Quote Link to comment
jeremyb Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Further to last post,I opened an existing file and tried to edit one of the plants causing problems before and VW crashed immediately. Seems like some of my saved plant symbols may have got corrupted possibly? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 17, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 17, 2013 In a copy of one of the files that you're having trouble with (dont save over the original) give this a try: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/993/Fix+Plants+Script+-+%28Issue+resolved+in+Vectorworks+2012+SP3%29 It was designed for a different issue, but the way it functions can sometimes recover plants with these symptoms. However if that doesn't work, make sure to contact: The Technology Park, Colindeep Lane, London, NW9 6BX Tel: 0208 358 6668 | Email: designteam@unlimited.com For a more thorough look.

michaelk Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Can you import the symbol into a blank document and post it to see if it is editable by others? mk Quote Link to comment
jeremyb Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks for responses, I'll look at later tonight or first thing tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
jeremyb Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I have now tried running the script file as suggested by JimW. I recognised one problem plant but otherwise made no difference. Here is a small test file with one of the problem plants. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 No problem with this symbol on my machine. Able to duplicate and edit the symbol. VW 2010 very snappy while working with it. Quote Link to comment
jeremyb Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Michael That's odd, I just tried it and VW crashed when I tried to edit the symbol??? Must be more strange and corrupted things going wrong. I hope it can be sorted soon as I need to get a planting plan completed. Quote Link to comment
