Christiaan Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 So has anyone updated yet to Mac OS X 10.4.6 yet? Any issues? Quote Link to comment
ionw Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 none yet, but as it has been only overnight time will tell. As always, if you are on a deadline don't change anything! HTH Quote Link to comment
Jeffe' Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Just got 10.4.6 - no issues - yet! Quote Link to comment
ionw Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 One gotcha that people are having, while not VW specific is that the Server version is causing havoc with Apple File Sharing. One either has to revert to the 10.4.5 AFP instructions I am not convinced that this is the best way, though it appears to work. The other way to handle it is here. This will impact those who have OSX Server software I believe. HTH Quote Link to comment
CanuckDesigner Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I just updated and found numerous issues with Vectorworks 12 with my Imac G5 PPC. 1. I cannot access one layer from another when show/snap/modify others is selected. 2. It seemed that each drawing I opened doubled in size ( from 1mb to 2mb) making the redraw slow. I am running 512mb of memory I know but prior to the upgrade it was fine. 3. Everything on screen located in the VW window disappears. It reappears when I zoom in or out! Any help or some light shed on this would very, very helpful. I am making a living using Vectorworks. When its down, I'm down. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Jeffe' Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 CD - I assume you restarted after the upgrade? Did you upgrade the OS, or VW, or both? One quirk I have seen is "sometimes" VW freaks out by not switching layers, or thinks the layer is another scale, and needs to be shut down and re-started. Dont know if that helps you or not. I'm going to be really stupid and install XP on my iMac and install VW for windows just to see what happens. Insert evil laughter here. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 CanuckDesigner - Did you restart and run disk utility after updating the OS? I've updated here and do not have those problems. Quote Link to comment
CanuckDesigner Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I will try the Disk Utility as you suggest katie. I will let you know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
CanuckDesigner Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I ran Disk Utility and ran the permission repair. The repair disk button was not active. I restarted and the access between layers is OK now but the screen still goes blank until I zoom or scroll. Could it be a RAM issue? Let's resolve this. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Does this happen when you first launch VW or after opening specific files ? Quote Link to comment
CanuckDesigner Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 After opening and while working on a file. The frequency is about every tens seconds or so. There seems to be nothing specific that triggers the window going blank. Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 CD, What are your auto-save settings? I've had Viewports freeze during the auto-save. . .I have to exit and re-enter. I can tell you that 512k ram would be better if it was 1.5m Good luck, Quote Link to comment
CanuckDesigner Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 The auto save is set at 5 min. Any Macheads know how to revert back to 10.4.5? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Canuck - Can you send the file to me? I'll take a look at it on Monday when I am back in the office (with a mac). Quote Link to comment
CanuckDesigner Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Good news. I was working on 5 drawings at the time the update occured and they must have become corrupt. I took the information in those drawings and transferred them to a drawing I did a "save as" on prior to the update. Now I can access all layers and the screen doesn't go blank. Thanks Katie for making me think it was a file problem not a program problem. Back to work! Mark. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Did you have VW open while you were updating? If you did - we do not recommend this at any time now or in the future. I'm glad you were able to work the problem out. Quote Link to comment
Pancho Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I have had a couple of problems running VW12 on 10.4.6: 1) zooming in too closely on imported images, close enough to where the image does not fit inside the window, ruins scrolling or panning. I have to zoom out to scroll and then zoom back in. 2) As CanukDesigner, I cant select from different layers even with that option turned on. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Pancho - I would imagine that if Quartz was turned off, the zooming/panning problem would be resolved. Have you tried that? As for the selection problem across layers -- try to force select the item. If you still can't, make sure you are not in the middle of editing a symbol or the object you are trying to force select is not a nested object within a larger symbol within a symbol. I've seen this happen when people have put a whole floor plan inside of a symbol, inside of a symbol, and so on. Quote Link to comment
