Anita Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I have the Artlantis demo downloaded, I am running Vectorworks 9.5.1 on PC with 384mb and 20GB. Every time I try to export a Vectorworks file into Artlantis, it gives me a Runtime Error (asked to be terminated in an unusual way) and closes down. I am trying to see what I can do to my current projects so I know whether or not to buy Artlantis! (Not much good if I can't export my pictures...) Ha ha. Quote Link to comment
the pang Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Hi I had an earlier demo version of Artlantis and found out that it is disabled and cannot load or save files. Because of that it didn't work right with VectorWorks. After playing around with it as a stand-alone program I got rid of it because I could see how it interfaced with VectorWorks. I wish that they would have a demo that was full functioned but had a time limitation. Oh Well. Try calling them and asking for help Quote Link to comment
Mary Wayne-Thomas Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 I have discovered that the full version of Artlantis is crashing Vectorworks 9.5.0 and 9.5.2 when I try to export. This is very disappointing because I have been using Artlantis for several years with earlier versions of MiniCad/VectorWorks. Is there any hope for a cure? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 The folks over at ArtLantis write the utility. I would check with them to see if they have seen this problem and if they have a resolution for it. As ArtLantis is a third party product, we do not directly support the product.

TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Other than this anomaly, how is the integrity of information from VW to A-L? Is it a straightforward export? Quote Link to comment
aersloat Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Is everyone using the most recent version of the Artlantis export plugin? They updated the export plug-in in May. No, the export is not just a straight export. You can preserve some material settings as well as update the geometry of a previously exported model. Remember that you have to add/update the plugin with the workspace editor. [ 08-09-2002: Message edited by: aersloat ] Quote Link to comment
CADD Nark Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Artlantis is all i use for rendering. i'm using VW 9.5.1 with Artlantis 4.0.4 and export my models (have been as large as 50 megs) with no problem. as mentioned, be sure to update the plug-in AND the workspace. also, be sure to update the QD3D component (available on the Abvent website).
