Error when importing into Plotmaker

Anonymous — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 15:39:37 GMT

Error while reading file: Main level 1_8.pmk
(256: File is not found, connection failed)

I'm getting this error message whenever I try to import anything into Plotmaker, on this house I'm doing. It started happening after I cancelled an import earlier.

How can I repair this? Deadline looming!

It's a problem with the ArchiCad file. Even a new Plotmaker file cannot import anything from this file.

I tried merging the Archicad file into a new and reset file. Tried importing that into a virgin Plotmaker file. Same error.

OK... Strange.
I quit ArchiCad. Quit BGArchicad. Quit Plotmaker.

Started up Plotmaker, open the PM doc., and it imported the AC file just fine.

I guess I don't understand what BGArchicad really is. I can't work on the AC file and PM file anymore?

I have found this error can occur when Plotmaker crashes ( like when trying to move an importing file) and the only way to fix things is to restart.

. . . or a 'send and receive' on the teamwork file (if you're using one) sometimes clears it.
