Problem with Resource Manager after upgrade to 2017

[APD]

Hello,

 

I just updated to 2017 and am now unable to use many of the objects in the Resource Manager - such as plumbing fixtures, furniture and other objects.  Some but not all have this issue.

I get an error message when I try to use them that says that Vectorworks was unable to download the resource and to check my permissions.  Has anyone else had this problem?

Have you converted all of your library files to VW2017 also? If they are still in VW2016 format, they will not be accessible.

 

Try doing a batch conversion on the libraries and see if that solves the problem.

Hi,

I am having the same problem (I think) as APD above. The resource manager lists numerous .vwx files for fixtures from Kohler, etc. but nothing is in them.

I ran the Migration Manager and it appears that it defaulted to migrate from my VW2015 files but only picked up some preferences.

I have pulled up objects from within VW2015 and tried to copy into a VW2017 file but the resolution appears to be messed up.

 

Having just too many problems with VW2017 at this point to continue with it but if you/anyone recognizes this problem I would be grateful for your feedback.

Thanks!
