Guest Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Mikie, You could have a corrupted Prefernce file as it is. Are you on a Mac or PC? Quote Link to comment

MikeN Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Just copy the workspace (.vww) file to a floppy and carry it around. Or send it to a Hotmail account and keep the attachment in the 'inbox' and just download it whenever you need it. I have a relatively complex workspace and the file size is only 275kb.

mikie Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 Thanks Runtime. I'd love to do that but I am unable to access the directory where this file is stored as it is in the C:\ directory and is not accessible due to permissions applied by the system admin. Even if I could access it to copy it, I still might not be able to write back to that directory. Is there anyway of embedding the prefs in the VW document so that it loads them with the file? Sorry, I don't want to take too much of your time as I know this really is quite trivial. Thanks, Mikie Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Mikie, You can't do what you want to do .. mostly because you don't have permissions to the location the prefs are stored. The workspaces folder is stored in the VW folder in a folder called Workspaces. The program preferences such as your serial number and name and a few other things is stored in the registry. If you are constantly having to reset your VW and doc prefs because of crashing or something like that - you may have a larger problem. Make sure you are using Vw 9.5.1 or later. If not, tell the teacher or whomever you guys need to update to VW 9.5.1 to alleviate these crashing issues. SEcond - if you have to continuously enter in your serial number, VW permissions might not be setup correctly. You should have read write access to hkey Local machine - software - nemetschek, hkey Current user - software - nemetschek and hkey users - *long number* - software - nemetschek. If you do not have these permissions, the problems encountered could be related. You can also ask the teacher/whomever to edit the registry by removing the Nemestchek folder from each of these locations and copying the registry entries from a computer NOT having the problems to your computer. If the IT guy or teacher needs to contact us, have them call from 9 - 5pm est at 410-290-5114 Option 1 or email us at tech@nemetschek.net and someone here will be able to discuss the matter further with them.

mikie Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hi Katie. Thanks for the response. I will have a chat, but I do not think that my problems with preferences and the like will be high on their list of priorities at the moment! Haha! Guess we will see what happens... Thanks again from UK, Mikie Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 BTW if you are in the UK, then you will need to have your higherups call Computers Unlimited in the UK. unlimited.com is the website. Quote Link to comment
mikie Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 Hey all. Just a query. Was wondering if there was any way to save my personal workspace preferences on my networked directory. I am at college and the C:\ drive is not accessible, so everytime the box crashes or I logon the next day, all my settings are back to the defaults, and I have to spend time changing toolbars, etc. I know this sounds lazy, but after a while it gets a bit tedious. We are running VW Architect w/ Renderworks 9.5 on win2k. Thanks Mikie Quote Link to comment
