Hotfix 966 Problems

Anonymous — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 18:26:11 GMT

We installed patch 966 and ArchiCAD 10 went insane. When we open a file by Browsing from the open dialog, it displays a folder selection dialog -- NOT a file selection dialog. The only way to open a PLN is to double-click it.

When the file finally opens, the new Grid Tool and the Interactive Scheduler cannot be loaded because they are "incompatible". We tried copying the Goodies into Add-Ons again, but it didn't help.

Finally, we unloaded and reloaded ArchicAD 10 and copied the Goodies back over. We are proceeding without the patch for now.

It should be noted that the project we were working with was migrated from AC9 to AC10. When I first tried migrating AC9 to AC10 I got pretty good results, but since then I've noticed that most of our problems happen to migrated projects.

I do something I call the "usual practice":

Always when the new patch comes - I copy the Ac directory - as a backup
If something goes wrong I just rename the copy and it workss as before the patch. Thanks to GS - AC does not interfere with the system directories (I am on WIN) and I hope it will stay like that in the next relases.

I could not install the patch right away - even after cleaning up the Addons - so I would advice to uninstall and install AC back. Such thing cleared the mess with temp files and caches - which brought me back about a Gig of disk space.

Best Regards,
Piotr

When I first installed the patch, I got the error messages with incompatable versions of the Grid and Interactive Scheduler -- I downloaded the latest Goodies from the GS site, replaced the ones in the Add-Ons folder, and now all is well (as far as that issue is concerned).

I, too, have been having a lot of problems since installing the patch -- and the problems are with migrated projects. It seems like we need a hotfix for the hotfix...

Anyone have any idea when we might expect to see the next hotfix?

Yeah Man! I still find lots of bugs... i.e. Master-Layouts that simply "disappear", Auto-Text changes that crashes the file, 2d Hotspot editing that changes the coordinate reference (local or origin)...
If you know more please post...
