MikeN Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Everytime I try to open a file from within VW I get a Runtime Error. The only way I can open a file is from within Windows Explorer. Is there a fix? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted January 7, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 7, 2003 This sounds like an installation problem. Try doing a complete re-install of VectorWorks from the CD. Quote Link to comment
MikeN Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 It seems to be an issue with Adobe Acrobat Distiller setup. As soon as I use Print Setup and select another printer, it works just fine. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 This is a known problem. We think it might be a problem within distiller. ANyways, to remedy the situation -- launch VW thru the start menu. Then go to File > Page Set up. Set the printer to something other than Distiller. Then you can open more than one file in VW. The problem happens when you launch VW (which opens an Untitled1 file. If you open another file without closeing Untitled 1, you will crash. The same theory is applied to opening VW with a file then going to file > open and opening an additional file with the other still open. You will need to change the Page set each time VW is launched. For some reason, it keeps setting Distiller to the default printer even though it's not your default printer. There is a workaround currently being worked on within VW and should be in one of the upcoming VW 10 updates. Quote Link to comment
