Take care

Gunther Miller replied to Todd Hurley's discussion 'Vectorworks 2011 Quitting when opening certain docs'" I often hear of user success when verifying and repairing permissions on the Mac.

Todd Hurley replied to Todd Hurley's discussion 'Vectorworks 2011 Quitting when opening certain docs'"Hi Gunther,
Thank you for getting back to me about this. After I sent this post here, I went into the Mac lab where I teach and I tried the same process and there were no problems at all! However, as I worked through other exercises in the…"
"Todd, Gunther, all,
I'm with you all on this as well. I had this issue when opening a file that was originally created in an older version. The only workaround/fix I found was to re-open in VW2010 and save as a new file name.…"
Gunther Miller replied to Todd Hurley's discussion 'Vectorworks 2011 Quitting when opening certain docs'"Hello Todd.
I’ve located the, “TheatreProject.vwx” file in the Spotlight Getting Started guide that you somewhat eluded to in in your post. Using a Spotlight serial number, I’m able to insert Datum Feature Symbols,…"

larry myers replied to Todd Hurley's discussion 'Vectorworks 2011 Quitting when opening certain docs'"Just read the discussion today on the issue with 2011 quitting while running certain application functions.

Todd Hurley replied to Todd Hurley's discussion 'Vectorworks 2011 Quitting when opening certain docs'"This is very interesting. Especially when you take into account that I was still having an issue or two, even after having solved my original problem. If you could let me know anything that you hear back from VW, I would be most grateful!
Cheers…"
Michael Bergfeld replied to Todd Hurley's discussion 'Vectorworks 2011 Quitting when opening certain docs'"Actually, you are not the only one having problems importing into 2011 Spotlight. I have had two weeks of "conversations" with VW about trying to import and use a rep plot in 2009 Spotlight from a theater. VW has had to reconfigue it both…"
Todd Hurley replied to Todd Hurley's discussion 'Vectorworks 2011 Quitting when opening certain docs'"Hi Jonathan,
Sorry I haven't been in touch, I've been teaching and I've been too busy to log back in.
Actually my friends at Paxar helped me get the solution. We found out it was a bad workspace that I had created. I was reading…"
Jonathan Pickup replied to Todd Hurley's discussion 'Vectorworks 2011 Quitting when opening certain docs'"OK, then try the trick of importing a layer form the bad file"
Todd Hurley replied to Todd Hurley's discussion 'Vectorworks 2011 Quitting when opening certain docs'"Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for your reply.
Nothing has changed on my computer, except for the regular software updates from Apple, and I have used these files since then with no problem."
