bkpa Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 We just recently upgraded all our computers to Mac 10.4.1 and Vectorworks 11.5. Every time I start working in our files, Vzectorworks seems to be crashing. It seems to be happening just about everytime I try and use a pull down menu (especially text). Makes it very hard to get anything done without switching back to an earlier version just to be productive, which defeats the purpose of having 11.5....Any suggestions? I've reinstalled already. Is this a Vectorworks issue?OS 10.4.1 issue? Any feedbeack would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment

zackayak Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Do you have the service update pack installed? I forgot to reinstall this after a non VW related hard drive death, and was experiencing regular crashes. Now I have it reinstalled and have worked a few hours with no crashes. Quote Link to comment
zackayak Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 OK - guess I wasn't asking much of my machine for a few hours. Now I am trying to experiment with 3d shapes, and all I'm getting are constant crashes. Zack Quote Link to comment
bkpa Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 I tried running Disk utility and repair disk permissions. It ran through everything fine, but it is still crashing. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I am finding that VW11.5 is crashing more for me than 11.0. What I find is that certain operations cause the crash. For example; tring to join two walls caused repeated crashing. I deleted one of the walls and redrew it then attempted the joining again. This time it worked. The offending wall appeared to be corrupt in some fashion. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 BKPA - Try to create a new user and see if the problem persists using the new user account. Quote Link to comment
bkpa Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 I created a new user name. With that done I had to reinstall vectoworks because it couldn't read the application for some reason....(message said something about a file sharing/library not accessible) After reinstalling, it still did not work...we're still crashing. Aarrrggg! I'm stumped!?!?! Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Zack - Run Disk Utility to verify and repair disk permissions. Make sure all applications are closed prior to starting this. It can be found in the Applications:Utilities folder. When it's done, restart the computer and see if the problem persists. Quote Link to comment
