Hotlinked module with corner windows causes main file crash

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 16:20:32 GMT

Hi all,

Has anyone encountered the following problem (AC 8.1 on Mac):

One of our users has a pln file with corner windows. When he moves walls with the CWs they (walls) blink for a second, then it gets back to normal. If he, however, links this file into a main file and tries to move the module around, there is more severe blinking and a crash with bug report.

If he removes CWs from the module file, the problem disappears. Tried different types of CWs (including empty opening), different Macs, deleted cache and prefs, didn´t help.

This is a relatively new project that was started in AC 8.1. I have also seen this problem in other files, but cannot duplicate it on a fresh template file so it seems like something just goes wrong somewhere in the process...

Any ideas?

Did you replace the 8.1 lib parts with the 9.0 ones? The Corner windows have been extensively re-written, so that might be the problem ...

This seems to be an 8.1 - only problem. Is it possible to use 9.0 CW´s in 8.1?

However, we are now in the process of upgrading to 9.0 and luckily the project doesn´t exhibit the same problem in the new version with 9.0 lib parts.

So it has been fixed.

Thanks for the reply,
