Place External Drawing Locking Up

[Anonymous]

In Archicad 18, I am using the "Place External Drawing" to try to place another Archicad 18 drawing into the current one I'm working with. It starts the "update" process, then freezes (locks up). This has happened in several Archicad drawings. I never had this problem with Archicad 9, 11 or 14.

It sounds like a known issue as described here:

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
