Re: viz renderer / 2004 adt bug?

I assume it's a bug because crap.drf loads. Just screws up the interface

I had students do a level-test and producing DWG & VIZ Render files. I can open them directly in VIZ Render and all is fine. Didn't had any problem with it. These files were copied on a server, so they weren't located in the original place.

I must say I've had the interface lockup once... We upgraded ADT2004 to SP1 so that might be able to solve some issues.

You can assign a different DWG from within the File Link Manager (but it apparantly doesn't work with non-2004 DWG files, probably to prevent using VIZ Render without AutoCAD ADT 2004).

I've been using AutoCAD for about 10 years, and 3dstudio Max for about 6 > years. We've purchased acad2004adt to replace 3Dstudio Viz in our lab for > our architecture students.

We also upgraded to ADT2004 + VIZ Render to replace ADT3.3 (well, we only used the AutoCAD 2D+3D stuff) and VIZ r3. I'm not finished with our tutorials, but it might be interesting to exchange some ideas.

Sure that'd be good. I've written loads of little tutorials, all available on

doubt, there will be loads of typos and stuff.
