0 Jeremy Best Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 This is almost certainly going to be caused by data corruption, either in files inside your Vectorworks User Folder, or within the Windows operating system's 'Registry' database. Either way, the following process will account for both possibilities. Make sure you abide the recommendation at the top of this guide, to make a copy of your Vectorworks User Folder before you begin and have a copy of your serial number handy. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 hollister design Studio Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Wow - I just rebuilt all my workspace from scratch after Pat Stanford told me my old ones where corrupt... Thanks for the link Jeremy. Will try it again with this protocol... I've had to do this three time since I got VW - is this just to be expected? Quote Link to comment

File/Data corruption is a fact of life and there are various causes. Typically, 1 in 1500 files are affected by corruption at any point in time. Nothing particular to Vectorworks, although I don't have stats to compare how often User Folder data gets corrupted compared with other file types that get read/written to or held in [vulnerable] memory in equal amounts. Simply put, files that get read or written to more, are more likely to get corrupted. It happens, so expect it and have backups to account for it. 😇 1 Quote Link to comment
