etweed Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 We have a file created in VW10 OSX. The file is 9.5 Megs and contains no images, only data. This file has several months of work in it, but will no longer open. Vectorworks brings up the outline of an open file, and then the rainbow colored clock continues to spin indefinetly. The file never opens completely. It does this on two different computers, one a dual 1gHz. Is there any way to at least salvage the symbol library inside of this file? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Have you tried to restart the computer and then open the file? How long do you wait for it to open? Do you know if the file is saved in a rendered view or wireframe view? In the upper right hand corner there should be a status box - see if that says rendering or something like that. If it does- hit the esc key until it stops. Quote Link to comment
etweed Posted August 15, 2003 Author Share Posted August 15, 2003 The file is in wireframe, so it should not be rendering. We have tried hitting escape but the color wheel continues to spin. When opening the file the screen is completely white and the toolbar grayed, but when the date and time menu is opened in the upper right corner (Mac) and then closed it reveals the "Verifying file" progress bar, which seems to be stuck. This leads us to believe that the file is getting to the point of almost opening but something is holding it back. Quote Link to comment
