    Black box on idw files

    105 Views, 6 Replies

    Using INV 2009 SP1. No Vault.

    When attempting to print, certain idw files have a large black box that obscures most of the drawing. This only happens when a user
    who did not create the drawing opens the file.

    Any suggestions on a fix?
    Please use plain text.

    1.) Are all the files stored on a central
    server?

    2.) Are all components for the IAM within the main
    work directory?

    3.) Do any of the "problem" idw's have CC parts in
    their parent IAM?

    1) All files are on a central server.
    2) Some components are in folders other than main work folder but with a workgroup search path
    3) No content center parts

    Possibly check "User Permissions" and security
    levels for the users for access to all the folders, as well as the
    levels/permissions on the folders.

    Do they have shaded views? Or a bitmap, say a company logo?

    Might be a memory or graphics driver issue as
    well.

    Can the person that is trying to print the IDW, do
    an "Update"?
