mystery #742

[Anonymous]

In PlotMaker, I am getting error messages which refer me to the navigator. The navigator says, simpy, Error. When I look in the help section, I learn that "Error" means something like something has gone wrong. Is there a way that anyone knows of to determine more precisely (more accurately?) what my problem is?
Thanks...

that means the file wasnt able to load last time it was updated. Duh. It could be for a number of reasons including a corrupt file but usually it occurs for me after a project update stalled and a forced restart was required. Next time I would try to update would get that message.
It was cleared by restarting the computer

hmm...restarted, reloaded, to no avail. How can I determine if the AC file is corrupt? Can it be troubleshot?
Anyone else have other ideas?

1. are the ones showing as 'modified' and 'ok' from the same archiCAD file as the 'error' ones?

2. if the answer to (1) above is "no", have you moved and/or deleted the archiCAD file from which they come?

3. if the answer to (2) is "yes", try selecting the three errors and choosing 'link to'. find the views they're linked to again.

4. if none of the above helps, delete the views from your layout and re-import them. sorry.

Deleting and re-importing worked. Thanks.
