Cannot read plan file/Repair process failed/

Hello
Hibaüzenet nélkül elmentettem egy fájlt. Másnap nem tudom megnyitni. Se a pln, se a bpn formátumút. Másik gépen, másik mappában sem. Hogyan tudnék hozzáférni egy heti munkámhoz, ami így bentragadt a fájlban, legalább részlegesen?

I saved a file, normaly, with no error message. Next day I cannot open it. Neither pln, nor bpn. Neither tried on other maschine, nor from other folder. How could I get acces to my work, that closed to this broken file? At least partially?

Have you tried opening the back-up file?
Do you have a backup drive?

I tried to open the .bpn file too. This is the back-up?
There is an AutoSave Folder in my maschine, but in this folder and subfolders there are no files wich could I associate to ArchiCAD, or any other application, so it isn't seems could solv my problem.

Did you fix that problem? I have the same message on .pln and .bpn files?

What error message do you get when you try to open it?
Have you tried the 'Open & Repair' option when opening a file from the file open dialogue.

Also by the way the open and repair locks up.

While waiting for any info on what can cause this process to fail... I believe that ArchiPLUS (SSA) subscribers can send corrupt files to their local tech support for analysis / recovery (if possible). Might be worth a shot, David, before the weekend?

Not that this will help recover your file but a regimented backup strategy will reduce downtime / lost time.

We do two full backups (1 on site, and 1 offsite) every night plus incremental backups mid morning and mid afternoon. At worst case we lose only a few hours work which never takes as long to redo as when done originally (as the thinking has already been done)

Scott
