Hello Alan @asibert, after studying by means of your authentic query(s), your drawback sounds similar to one which I’ve lately documented and reported. Please see the doc hooked up to this publish to see if it sounds/seems like what you skilled. I documented all the messages I get with pics of my SU session, so you’ll be able to see if this is identical situation that you’re having.
Backside line is that I’ve discovered that any time I take advantage of the Print operate to avoid wasting a PDF file of a mannequin, it’ll trigger a Failed to avoid wasting error the following time I (or the Autosave characteristic if you’re utilizing it) attempt to save the mannequin after which pop-up an error message saying that it’s having a problem reaching Trimble Join and suggesting that you just Please obtain a backup file…however while you attempt to obtain a SKP file, it does as you urged and hangs the SketchUp session.
I’ve by no means needed to completely reboot my laptop computer to get well, as you stated was obligatory in your OP, simply kill the SU window or tab (in case you’re in a browser).
Let me know in case your drawback looks like the identical drawback I’ve documented, so I can refer this thread to the SU people who’re working this drawback…I feel it’s extra widespread than they suppose. That is the third thread I’ve linked my drawback to in the previous few weeks…
