Critical error in AC9

[Anonymous]

I have been working in AC for several months on the same project and all over sudden it crashed for the first time. Then it crashed 6 times in 15 minutes. The bug report was send, but should i hold my breath to get contacted by Graphisoft? One of the Bug Report Codes was:

2005-01-14-19-14-53-4149

Should i start a new file and merge the project? Any suggestions are welcome.

Before you do anything go to C:\Documents and Settings\user\ApplicatiDataGraphisoftArchiCADhiCAD 9.0.0 USA R1 and trash any thing with a .prf extension.

Next, if that doesn't fix it, you should try to figure out if there is a specific action which causes the crash. Did you get any error messages

Third, I would save the file with a different name.

Fourth I would open a new and reset file and merge the project into the new file.

Don't wait for Graphisoft to call and the number alone is meaningless.

Thanks for your help.

To double check, delete everything in the attached image?

Graphisoft will not contact you. The Report Code is just the date and time that the problem occurred.

Woody's ideas are all potential fixes.

Just the ArchiCAD 9 Basic.prf

I beg to differ.
This number can be in fact quiet helpful. If you get in contact with you local ArchiCAD support and give them the number, they can then contact GS give them the number and the can then go in and have a look at the bug report. If you are lucky they may even be able to tell you what the problem is.

I always request our customers to give me this number, it helps GS as well.

Cheers.

Again,
Contact you support. *.dmp files are also very useful for GS.

I will do that! THanks.

You tell 'em Ben!

And on a side note, from memory you can merge a new & reset (empty) project into a problem file to fix it. It's called forward merging and saves you recreating a whole bunch of stuff, including viewsets.

This technique may be outdated, but it's worth a try!
