Matt Holmes Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 VW Architect 10.5.1, OS X 10.3.3, G4/800. VectorWorks is taking about 1m15s to quit. Doesn't happen on other similar machines. Very strange. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
ionw Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 We have one machine that is randomly experiencing this issue too. a 733 Mhz g4/10.3.3 VWA 10.5.1. I can boot the machine have nothing but the finder running, and continually launch and quit from VW ?not opening a document other than the automatic blank sheet VW opens on it's own?and 3 times out of five it takes about this long to quit. I've repaired permissions, did a archive and install WITHOUT remembering netork settings and permisions, combo installer to 10.3.3, clean install from VWA CDs for 10.1.2 followed by updaters. I've tried default workspaces, custom workspaces no custom plugins, our standard array of custom plugins, all with the same behavior. Quote Link to comment
Matt Holmes Posted April 6, 2004 Author Share Posted April 6, 2004 Thanks for the quick response. The slow quit would happen in either of the scenarios you describe. However, the good news is that I may have inadvertantly solved the problem. I set up this machine to drive two displays off of one video card. All our other machines have two cards, but I installed an ATI 8500 which can drive two monitors, so I thought I would give it a try (our older ATI secondary cards require a workaround in OS X, kind of a pain). My initial setup had the gray startup screen showing up on the secondary monitor. This was the setup that produced the slow quit behavior. When I switched ports on the card I got the startup on the main monitor and also fixed VW (quitting is now instantaneous). I don't know if there is a cause and effect relationship here, but the only other thing I did that I can think of is repair permissions a few times. In any case I'm not complaining!

Guest Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 That's good Matt, I don't think I would have thought of the video card scenario. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Are you saving a document, closing it, and then closing vw, or are you forcing VW to save the document when you quit? Quote Link to comment
