Crazy Homeless Guy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I am composing an internal tutorial on using Autodesk Impression, but every DWF I try to import crashes Impression. So no I am trying to figure out if I have a bad install of Impression, or if there is another problem. I tested this on one other of our machines, and it crashed also. So, ...I am wondering if someone could quickly draw a couple of boxes, create a DWF file of those boxes, and send it to me so I can try and import it and see if Impression crashes again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kippu Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 are you using windows 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yes, Windows 7 64bit, Autodesk Impression 3.0. I have tried DWF's and DWG's from 3dsMax, and AutoCAD. Both crash Impression on import. Also, Impression seems to be a bit unstable for me when saving in general, so it may just be a bad build or install.

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Awe.. Thanks. That Hotfix sounds like it will fix the exact problem I am having. I put in a IT request to have it taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb4026 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Does Autodesk still support Impression? I have used it a bit in the past, but there is little if any support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Does Autodesk still support Impression? I have used it a bit in the past, but there is little if any support. At some point in 2009 Impression 3.0 became part of the subscription pack. ...so I am not sure how much it will continue to be developed. Is subscription freebies where things go when they are no longer being developed? Not sure myself. I have never worked it into my pipeline, but I think it could be useful. Especially since it has the ability to create decent NPR linework. Judging from the looks it is better at this than Ink&Paint shaders, or contour shaders. Both of which are limited in terms of wiggle, and overlapping lines. Though you can't animate in Impression. I wonder if you could batch file linework with consistency?
