Hi all, I have been plagued lately with a weird problem… I was not sure on how to even title the topic.
So A while ago, my computer crashed… no big deal opened rhino, and it gave me the option to save my crashed file. Great! However ever since then, whenever I want to start a new project, and I click on the main icon from my desktop, instead of opening “A new file” it opens the old project that crashed with my pc. Weirdest thing is, it only does this when I select new, then “small objects-inches”
In all other options, it opens a new file correctly. It’s mostly frustrating because this particular project it opens, has a lot of layers and objects, and I have to spend time deleting everything. I have tried to research the issue, but I cannot find anything even close to the issue I’m having.
I guess I could uninstall and re-install, but I was trying to avoid that.
If anyone out there has experience with this or knows how to rectify the issue, I’d be very grateful.
It sounds like you over-wrote your factory-default template file “small - inches”. If you pick Open and navigate to that template file, does that open your crashed file? I would think that it does. Then you just have to clean that file (delete everything that you don’t want in a template) and save as that template.
Huh… seems like that’s exactly what I did. Not sure how that happened, and I did not realize I could just re-save another template. but your suggestion worked good enough.
Thanks, Wim.
Hi Frank, I hope maybe you’ve resolved your problem after all these years. I had the same issue. What I did was I selected all the layers and “delete layers” this will delete the layers that aren’t “locked”. The layers that can’t be deleted will show a message that says something like this layer blocks are locked or something. click on the remaining layers one by one and type “block manager”. Once you do this, the block manager will show the hidden objects that are still attached to the layer. select the hidden objects and begin to delete until each hidden object is deleted. This should unlock each layer and allow you to delete the previously locked layers on the main layer window. Once everything I wanted was deleted, I saved the file as a new template in case I run into the same problem later.
