Window freezes

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:34:51 GMT

I'm having an issues with windows freezing occasionally. For example, my most recent issue was when I had a layout sheet open and I was adding some text. I finished editing the text and when I went to zoom out, the window was frozen (unresponsive, no zooming, selecting or unselecting objects, etc). Any other windows open are not affected. If I close the window, then reopen it is is usually fine.

I'm using a Magic Mouse with MagicPrefs installed- not sure if that is part of the problem or not.

Any ideas???

I think there is a glitch where Archicad stops looking for the license (it is not that the licesne is not responding as they were fine and others were still working).

I have had this happen before and in particular twice within minutes of each other just the other day.
I selected two windows and opened thier settings dalogue both times and 14 froze.
It was still responding according to the task manager but nothing would bring it back.

The first time I closed the application and restarted it - autosave kicked in and I didn't lose any work.
The second time I'm not sure if it was because I then accessed another Archicad that was running or because I opened the server manager to check the licenses but Archicad un-froze by itself and was fine.
It could also be that it just had enough time to recover by itself and not because of anything I did.

I'll be experimenting more if it happens again.

PS I don't think it is your magic mouse - I am on Windows.

I'm on a Mac and have have two of these freezes. Once it un-frooze on its own but the other time I had to restart AC 14, the auto save kept me from losing anything. They seemed to be random as far as the sitution.
