I am having no luck with version 13, i can not make changes then preview because the preview just sits there with the spinning flowe. only why to close the program is to use the task manager. then it asks to save but it just keeps flashing the green bar but never ends so end task in task manager.
Am i the only person that can't get it to work? very frustating as i have spent hours trying this and that but nothing makes a difference. maybe when the retail version comes out next week it will all be fixed
Hello Jeff,
Can you please tell me which windows version you are using?
If you start a new project do you experience the same issue?
Are there other programs running in background?
Many thanks!

Also when importing it gets stuck at 94% . see attched pic
Hello Jeff,
Can you please test it also with a new project?
Please send me also the project IWZIP file so I can verify it to see on what it depends.
You can use the function on http://www.wetransfer.com to generate a link and then write it here so I can download it.
Many thanks!

also the time delay from italy to canada is no help, taking too long for answers
Hello Jeff,
Can you please test it also with a new project to see if after creating it and saving it the same happens when you make a change?
Which exact windows version are you using?
Many thanks!

Hello Claudio
Did you get my we transfer link?
Hello Jeff,
I got the project and I imported it completely. I tested also the preview after making some changes and it was working correctly.
Can you please try to start windows in safe mode and then use the program in safe mode to see if the same issues happens again?
Many thanks!

this morning i did a complete fresh install, a fresh update and a fresh import. it imports ok. when i highlight project, click next then it tries to "creating Project Files" it works until it gets to 94% still. i have tried safe mode, renaming zip files, etc. but nothing works for me. i really don't want to start all over again as I have 1500 parts installed.
Please Help Me......

Hello Jeff,
If you choose to not add the backup and preview files in Version 12 is then the project smaller than 2 GB so you can send it to me by using the function on http://www.wetransfer.com to generate a link so I can test the project?
Many thanks!

Claudio are you there? Are you still trying to help me or should I repost my problem again???????????
Hello Jeff,
Sorry you are right.
I'm uploading the project so I can pass it to you so you can test if it works with this one. As soon as it has been uploaded I will write you the link here.
In any case the developers are already working on the issue.
Many thanks!

Thanks for the file. I was able to import and preview.
Looks like I have looks of work to do as all the images are of the incorrect size. Some are missing
So it is working for what my original problem was. Thanks

I spoke too soon. after finally opening the project, and saving. then reopening it crashed on the project saying somethimg about HML 0,0. i had to delete it as it would not open. so i re imported your copy again and it is stuck at 94%. this is frustrating as this is now installed on a brand new computer.

Hi
after the above error, i had to uninstall and reinstall, open in safe mofe, reimport project. so i lost all of my work.
i have made some changes agaim in the header area and now the preview is hung up about 2mm in the green guage
looks like i will never get to use this upgrade (down grade to me).
lots of my images are missing, when i do find some and click to enlarge they are all distorted and the view is not a square but a rectangle thus unable to view pic.

see above 2 messages
this is rediculus, brand new computer out of the box, is acting the same with your software as my old unit.
where do I go from here??????????
i have not been able to use this software at all, I even crashed when I opened a new project today.so frustrated and disappointed. Seems no one is working issues
Hello Jeff,
It has been released an update in the beta channel which will be soon released as official update. As soon as you get the notification in the program about a new update proceed to install it and then test it again.
Please keep me updated.
