PlotMaker: Error while saving view in ArchiCAD.

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 22:08:21 GMT

Ok. We recently migrated our project from one server to another (long story), but after we relinked the files to go and look for the specific views in the models we seem to get the "Error while saving view in ArchiCAD." message when we do an update. I've even gone back and relinked the views. Has anyone encountered that problem too?

Can you post a screen shot with:
1)error dialog
2)any problematic drawing name in it's layout folder/subfolder. (PM layout Navigator)

1) Sorry I have to attatch the image. I'm not sure how to post a pic, or at least I don't know of who can host it for me. but, here it is.

2) I don't think it's a naming error since the names worked ok when it was on a different server. Some of the viewsets DO have the same name (although their project map names differ), but even viewsets with unique names are having trouble.

I see one difference: in the list of Views, the name of the View contains a slash: PCR/DNA.
In the error message it says: PCR_DNA
I know Windows does not like slashes in file names, actually it is forbidden. I wonder if this is related.

I have tested the names with "/", "%", "_", "-" symbols on WindowsXP Pro/SP2. All works perfect!

Turns out it was a server permissions error. The users we're not allowed to write to the Network object library. Apparently, for some mysterious reason, plotmaker needs to have write access to the library, so if the users don't have acess, Plotmaker won't either.
