Program crashes going from ArchiCAD to Plotmaker

Looking for a little help... I am having problems transferring files from ArchiCAD to plotmaker. Whenever I try to import an ArchiCAD file into plotmaker (or update a plotmaker pmk file) the Bug Reporter pops up and prevents this file transfer. One error I recieve is as follows: Error while reading file: site plan.pmk (256: File is not found, connection failed). Anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm currently having exactly the same problem and never have before. No upgrades, system/ network changes and no-one else in the office is having the same problem. What's going on? Anyone? Please????

I've no idea what's going on , but the problem for me has disappeared. I don't know if it's networking, server problems or as you say Djorde, permissions, which somwehow now have changed. I can't be sure if someone in the office has changed some of these things in the course of the last week.
