Drafting - Print to PDF - Doesn't work with DropBox as save location

  • 1.  Drafting - Print to PDF - Doesn't work with DropBox as save location

    Posted 03-02-2020 09:57

    I save all of my data in a DropBox folder as a fail safe. This deems to work excellent except for when printing to PDF via the Print Plan Set command.

     

    The work around is to save this to the desktop and then move this after the printing/saving as finished. Doable but adds an extra step and I have to remember to move this after.

     

    Would it be possible to address this?

     

    Thanks for the help.

    TBC is defiantly not optimized for Dropbox.  I also use Dropbox for all off my projects. When I bring scan data from the SX10, I have to start the project outside of the Dropbox and then transfer it after all data has been imported. If the project is in Dropbox, I get these crazy point anomalies that shoot vertically above and below the project to what seems infinity.

    The issue was the apostrophe in my last name. I removed this, l'heureux to lheureux,  works correctly now.

    So you can save to Dropbox?

    Dropbox seems to get its hooks into our projects as they get created and starts to try and sync in background which interferes with things that are not stored in the project itself - that includes images and point clouds as they are imported and being written - while you can point at TBC as the issue, the issue is actually caused by Dropbox not by TBC,  the key is to suspend the synching while working with these data types to stop them interfering with TBC use

    Yes. I haven't had any other major issues that I can note except this. I will create a log if I do notice anything.
