VW 9.5.3 problems with Microspot 5.1.2+...

[Vik Asrani 0]

Hi All

We use VW 9.5.3 on a B&W G3 with OS 9.2.2. with a print server Mac(OS 8.6) and dont know why the file names stop showing up on the server. The plot files appear on the server from the main machine just fine. Before 9.5.3 the option to include file names in the print window worked great. That option still appears but is of no use now.

This is helpful when there are 2 people plotting multiple pages and we need to delete plots from the list based on sheet name or drawing file name.

Is there a fix to this or should we just go back to using 9.5.2? The plots show up on the server with just the main computer user name and a number. File names simply vanish. Ideas?

TIA.

Vik.

How long are the file names?

Hi

File names are about 10 characters long. Does this make a difference? It was fine before I changed to 9.5.3. I did ask Microspot and they claim it is a Vectorworks problem. Since I use OS 9.2.2 is VW 9.5.3. not necessary?

Thanks,

Vik.

If you aren't using QT 6 - you don't need VW 9.5.3.

I don't know why VW 9.5.3 would cause that problem though.

Have any other changes been made to either the local or the server computers as far as additional software or removal of software or extensions?
