John, What happens when you try to start v5? ... Are you saying a VCD from v5 won't open in v4? There should be not backward compatibility issues beyond...
What has probably happened is the files need to run VC 5 got corrupted when the power went out. This is common and I'm surprised the OS didn't become corrupted...
Hi Adrian & Ed I think I am on to it. When I started up the computer I double clicked the V5 icon on my desktop, straight away it went to my task bar. I single...
Well you should really put it down as I Need A UPS on my PC so in case of power failures I don't have to deal with this. Of course that is just my opinion. Ed...
Thanks Ed Your opinion is noted and is a good one. I live in a country area and I have been lucky to date, think my luck is running out. Tomorrow I will be...
John, I have an APC 1500 I bought at CompUSA. About $200, but it has worked flawlessly and saved me many times. Parke Joyner ... From: John Richardson To:...
I took the plunge this weekend and upgraded (clean install) my work PC to XP Pro. I'm going to do a test print to the Encad plotter and see if I have the same...
Re: Power Failures: Sometimes your power goes out. Other times, your spouse goes too near (your) computer. Either way, there is a potential failure at hand. ...
... I concure with Adrian's response. You could set up a style sheet with just the dimension settings and load that style for any drawings that have different...
... John: I have UPS on all my machines. I recommend APC instead of Tripp-Lite (had nothing but trouble with them). All are configured to automatically shut ...
Well it is the same. I'm think it is a bug in VCadd. I'll try from VC 4 and see if I have the same result. Has anyone else seen this type of thing and if so...
Well it was the same in V4 so I'm thinking it is bug in the drivers. Luckily some in the office has older driver they are using with XP so i'm going to try...
... I initially tried doing that with my old machine running NT4. I tried again with W2000 (I haven't yet 'advanced' to XP). I found that the automatic shut...
Hi Adrian, It's great to be able to talk to you!... thanks so much for the Image program... it has been a lifesaver! I now have it in vc5 too!... What are the...
Adrian- Follow up to your suggestion, and note to other v5 / older computer users: Yes -"Allow Mainsbar property boxes to change selected objects" uncheck ...
Adrian, I can't find Image version 1.8 on the Yahoo website (http://visualcadd.org/). Is there another site I should be looking at? Thanks, Larry Pearsall ......

I seem to have so many errors with VC5. I was under the impression it was tested more than it was. Here's a really simple (but maddening) problem I saw...
Fred Cannot duplicate your problem. Hitting F1 twice gives me the VC5 help page and an error page saying it cannot find the help page with an "OK" option, ...
I can duplicate it but I have to hit F1 twice then exit out of the "Failed to open Help" or something like that then if I hit F1 twice again I get the original...
Fred, Just happened to be working with the evaluation copy of V5. VCADD set to full screen. Layer manager open. Fairly simple drawing ( really a form for...

To the programming gurus out there: I have written a VB script for our database program that will tell VCADD to load a particular drawing. If the user...
I have been posting about my print/plotter problem and it is really starting to bother me. My PC becomes mostly useless when I try to print to the Encad...
Glen, On question 1, you could try to find out if a drawing is already open, but unless you really need to, don't bother. If you try to open an already open ...
