Jim Kunzendorf Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm on VW 2018 SP1 with Braceworks. Since SP1 the Straight Truss Tool is not behaving as expected. It lets me draw a line but then everything disappears. No Truss to be seen, no line nothing. Restarted the program, fresh file but still no luck. any ideas ? Best Jim Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Try installing SP1 in a clean folder rather than over your old install. This is actually recommended practice, but it’s easy to ignore, and has never been an issue for me in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment
dbrumbach Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I am having the same issue, truss tool will draw a line but no truss is created. In the past I created symbols using the truss tool from older versions of VWX. These symbols do not appear visibly when I copy paste them onto a new document. I can see the old symbols when I open that particular file, but I can't use those symbols on a new drawing? JBenghiat - can you explain installing SP1 in a clean folder? When you launch the SP1 installer, it asks for the location of the VWX application? Thanks in advance.....db Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Before installing, rename or delete your old 2018 application folder. Or, in other words, when prompted by the installer, don’t select an existing install. The SP installers will do a full install, not just an update of changed files. Quote Link to comment
dbrumbach Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Thanks J, I tried that but the installer would not move ahead without seeing the old app. Another thread suggested re-setting the user folder. Once I did so, the truss tool works properly. db Quote Link to comment
Adam E Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Doesn't work for me either. Any solutions yet? Quote Link to comment
dbrumbach Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hi Adam, I found a work-a-round for this posted by Markdd, here is the link to his post below, click on it to be taken to the thread: Once you re-build the user folder the tool works properly, but then you will also need to replace your document templates, workspaces, etc... This is worth doing, not too bad on re assembling the user folder once the new one is created. db Quote Link to comment
