ArchiCAD DWG translator bug in OSX

Anonymous — Thu, 07 Jul 2005 09:16:57 GMT

Hello,

We have isolated an issue opening AutoCAD DWG documents, apparently due to a faulty object in a Graphisoft Virtual Array (in English – a programming fault). This occurs with some AutoCAD DWG files, not all.

Using the default DWG translator, we can open the attached DWG file in an “out of the box” Archicad 9 installation (1812 INT FULL) without problems, however updated installations (2018 INT FULL) fail in the following manor:

Soon as the file is selected we get the application busy cursor icon (black & white quarters spinning wheel) for around 30 seconds followed by the OSX generated rainbow coloured spinning “Pizza of death”.

Archicad takes 100% CPU time or more as reported in the Activity monitor.

Archicad has to be forced quit to gain control

The Consol log identifies the programming fault exactly:

---------------AddOnManager constructed
PR70CheckVersion - 0x00061705 0x00000C00 0x00000400 1
Released data
IFC_Common::CheckEnvironment()
IFC_200::CheckEnvironment()

Released data
Object Id 0x2218E7 => (dead end - wrong kind AcDbHatch)
Illegal index in Graphisoft Virtual Array.: VA:perator[]: wrong index
VAArray.hpp(322)
*** malloc[428]: error for object 0x11a37f30: Incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed; break at szone_error

This has been repeated on a number of Mac 2Ghz G5s with OS10.3.7/OS10.3.9, 1-2GB RAM. All with the same result.

Obviously, the fault has been introduced by one of the Archicad updates.

This is 100% consistent with my experience even with AC 9.0 Rev 2045 USA FULL.

So I'm sending my files off to consultants without the ability to review them first. Yuck. This is a very old post, has anyone found a workaround?
