Vectorworks Errors

[Stazzie89]

Hi!

So I am using a student copy of Vectorworks 2015 on both my Desktop and Laptop (both using windows 8). I usually have zero issues with file transferring between the two...until tonight when weird phenomenon occurred.

I have drawn a file on my PC, copied onto a usb, copied onto my laptop to continue work. Opened the file --> clicked into design layers and a script error occurred.

"Line #24 ect ect compile stopped by command period" image in link below

I tried rewriting the file to my usb, opened fine on PC however same error occurs back on laptop.

I reinstalled vectorworks (rewrite, not complete uninstall)

I got a new error message. this time upon only launching the program (not attempting to open any files or click into anything)

"Line #19 ect ect compile stopped by command period" (kind of sounds like the same error)

I completely uninstalled VW and reinstalled it.

It now seems to be working okay. I am however sceptical.

Does anyone know what might have caused this to happen? I'd like to avoid it occurring again.

Thanks!!

I have seen that happen on occasion after many many transfers of a file, but I'm talking hundreds, the file was over 8 years old.

It is normally the file itself that has the issue, but I have not seen a loss of data occur from it, (just the irritating error and a feeling of dread, which are legitimate concerns) I have seen it corrected in the past by importing all of the layers into a new document:

However, the above process loses your sheet layers, so its up to you as to whether you want to attempt the procedure or not. I really wouldn't suspect further problems.
