Archicad not responding and crash in PM9

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 14:45:03 GMT

I just switched a solo project to a teamworks project. Went to PM and relinked quickviews to the plp. Now I can't update any drawings, nor can I complete an import without an "Archicad not responding" dialog box. PM8 used to do the same thing, but it always completed the job anyway.
PM9 really does lock up and I have to force quit everything graphisoft. I'm confused because it worked great as a solo project and now, here I am with a deadline and, once again, PM is destroying my schedule and reputation.

I'm having the exact problem. It is frustrating, and seems I have to delete my drawings from the layout and re- import them when the update is locking up (when "ArchiCad is not responding" keeps reappearing). Even when i re-import, it doesn't always respond, and definately takes a long time. It is, like you, screwing up my deadlines, and is extremely frustrating.
We would value any ideas on why this is happening...
Thanks,
lp

Ouch! I understand abandoning teamworks. What an extraordinary waste of time it is deal with. As for PM, I think it's the weakest link in the chain. I've told people who ask me how I like Archicad that it's a great piece of software as long as you don't have to print anything.

It's the seeming randomness of the screwups that really gall me. I understand accidentally deleting quickviews, or some other stupid user error. What I don't understand, and is most frustrating, is things like saving a drawing, quitting, getting a good night's sleep, coming back in the morning and finding that you have an entirely different file. What's up with that?

I call it the Hungarian Random Event Generator! javascript:emoticon(':wink:')

I'm going to frame that.

The funny thing is how cool Plotmaker is in some respects, like subset numbering and section marker completion, PDF publishing.... just as long as you do not need to update anything!
