Cbeckwith Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Having a problem with the CLIP TOOL, it doesn't do anything. Tried all ways to see if it works, but doesn't. Anybody else having the same problem? Is there a solution to fix? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Check to make sure both objects are 2d objects. Select both objs, then select the Clip Surface command. The object you want clipped or cut out will still remain. You will need to select that object and delete it or move it to see the changes. Quote Link to comment
Vitanaut Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 VW 10 is freezing my machine. (PC WIN XP Pro Dual 2.2Ghz and 2G ram) anyone else experienceing this. It happens about fifteen minutes into the program. Set to default 20 undos. Quote Link to comment
Matthew Giampapa Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Try turning off the AutoSave feature in the preferences. By default 15 minutes is when that is supposed to kick in. You may have another program running that is conflicting with it. Quote Link to comment
Vitanaut Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Turning off auto save had no effect. IT seems to happen when I am online and drawing simple 2d shapes. Very frustrating. Also, I was in the process of moving VW10 from my Laptop to my desktop (Yes, one license was actually installed on more than one machine for a brief time) When interestingly, after shutting down and starting again (while both machines were connected with a crossover cable) Vector works 10 uninstalled itself (with no warning or other indication) After several attempts at first uninstalling and then reinstalling I got things working again but that's when the freezing started. I would gladly pay for another seat if there would be some kind of guarantee that it would reliably work. Oh, Did I mention that quite often (It just happened -- I am editting this post ten minutes later) I get a C++ runtime error when I try to change the color of a selected object. My system again: Win XP Pro Dual P4 Xeon 2.2 Ghz Processors, 2 G Ram, Dual monitor with a Radeon 8500 Video card. I am glad i am still within that 30 day period...

mike46 Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Hi I have also experienced the color change vwa crash It happened twice on the same object on the third try it worked fine and has not happened since Mike Quote Link to comment
Matthew Giampapa Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 If I recall, most of the crashes relating to a change of colors were due to problems with video drivers. In most cases they were remedied by updating a video driver, or turning the acceleration down in the advanced settings tab. (Display control panel -> Settings tab -> Advanced button -> Troubleshooting tab -> Acceleration slider) Quote Link to comment
Vitanaut Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Great idea (wish I'd thought of it) I do have my 3D video accelerator maxed out. I'll give it a try. Thanks Quote Link to comment
