NEW BUILD (227)

[Roy Hirshkowitz]

Fixed Windows Explorer thumbnail viewer.

 

What's New.

Yes, it's 227 and the system has been rebooted.

I had this error on the previous build (downloaded it when it was posted but just got round to putting it on the older machine the day before 227 was posted), and was hoping 227 would correct it but it didn't. I get the error message with ACAD 2008. With ACAD 2009 there's no error message, but it still stalls during the "preparing rendering" stage.

Try a very simple drawing and see if it works. Also try creating a single material and see if you get thumbnails-- either Explorer or internal.

[Gene Kim-Eng]

I get the same error message when trying to render a simple sphere. I also get the error message and nonfunctionality when attempting to create a new material. So pretty much the only thing I can do with the program on this system without getting this problem is load the walkabout window.

[Gene Kim-Eng]

Uninstalled 227 and went back to 217. Everything seems to be working, including the thumbnails (I forgot to mention that I wasn't having any problem with Explorer thumbnails with 217 on either of my test systems).

Curious-- no problems here on 32 bit R17-- which I'm assuming is what you've got.

[Gene Kim-Eng]

Yes. 17.1 (2008) and 17.2 (2009). 2009 has this weird problem where XREFs appear to load and display in walkabout, but not in the render. 2008 seems to be the last version that runs well with AR on the old system.

Wonder where the time come from to do this much detail, unless more than a pair of hands are working on the model. Me I use maps with alpha channels and keep away from close shots like this one or else I will never finish any work, now with the snail of a system am using anyway.

Love the massing, well through out design.
