[Drawkit] New To list & DrawKit

[Dick Applebaum]

Strange situation!

I applied the fix and the Demo worked... for a while.

I was able to load some images, clone some styles, trace/draw shapes,  
save and open files.

Then, it stopped working with:

    2008-07-05 12:12:52.512 GCDrawDemo[51213:10b] *** -[NSCFArray  
insertObject:atIndex:]: attempt to insert nil

when I tried to open the drawing files I created.

It also gives the same message when I try to open many of the Test  
Docs such as:

   Basic Map Symbols.drawing
   Booyakasha.drawing
   Dimension Lines.drawing

I am not proficient enough (yet) to figure out what's happening.  I  
did spend several hours trying to figure out what was happening and  
where?

No luck.

So I did a complete reinstall-- same results.

Looked around for residual application support files-- couldn't find  
any.

Time Machine restored to a prior (working) copy-- same results.

Now, here is the strange part:  I can run the demo from another  
machine (same, latest version of all Apple software).  I access the  
drawing files from the original  Mac over WiFi and they work as  
expected.

This tells me that it is unlikely that the drawing files are corrupted.

I would like to get it running on the first Mac (faster, bigger  
screen, etc).

Thoughts?


TIA

Dick
