Layout Book Pages seem to be Locked?

Anonymous — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:39:46 GMT

Not sure how this happened, but I am now unable to do any work on my layout book sheets.

I can't select any of the drawings, nor can I add any text, lines, objects, etc.

IS there a key I may have accidently hit that triggers this?

No its actualy drawings that I have placed on them (over 50 sheets, multiple drawings per sheet) and that I have freely moved around up until about an hour ago.

Further, I can't add anything to them, such as text, lines, fills, etc.

And it's a .pln file, not a teamworkfile?

Check that you haven't turned on Grid Snap (S key)

It is a teamwork file, but I am signed in as the Team Leader with Exclusive Access and have been since before the problem started.

Sounds like a bug or something like that if you have logged in with exclusive rights.

First, check Thomas Holm's tip!

Then:
You haven't split layouts from projectfile?

What icon do you have in front of your layout? Could you take a screenshot?

What happens if you create a new layout, is that locked too? And if not, is it locked when you sign in next time?

Seems to have been just a bug.

I shut down my computer and restarted it and now all is fine!

Thanks for the reply's.

Well, I have been using Archicad for years and so it surprised me to find a problem I have never experienced before. So I basically could not adjust adjust drawings in layouts. After long time of trying and googling, your advice helped!

Cheers!
