Plotmaker error message

Anonymous — Tue, 07 Sep 2004 23:26:46 GMT

Does anyone know what the following attached error message is in relation to. It appears every time we load a new plotmaker file with imported drawings. All the library parts seem to included and there are no visible errors on the page. We have recently run the latest update to 8.1R2.

This relates to your other post about the error message(s) when loading your libraries in AC. The help files (somewhere) point out that if you get this message in PM, you should open the project in AC in order to find out the nature of the errors. Anytime that any lib errors are reported in AC, you will get this message in PM. If you know that the AC error is really just a warning (as in your case of duplicated image files), then you can safely ignore the error in PM.

Read the following ArchiGuide article.
I hope it helps with this issue.

We're getting that message and it relates to a chronic problem we have with Plotmaker and libraries. If one team member adds symbols and saves the teamwork file, those symbols may or may not show up when another teammate opens the PM file. That second teammate may have the same libraries in their computer, but it seems hit and miss as to whether PM loads them.

This is because, I understand, Plotmaker opens a background copy of ArchiCad. but in that background copy, you cannot use Library Manager to make sure you're looking to the correct libraries.

I sure hope they fixed this in AC 9.
