Janetcrouch Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I have Home Designer Pro 2021 and my computer is a Mac mini. Lately my program has been freezing sometimes. It caused my to lose an hours worth or work once. I was hoping it had autosaved, but I guess I had not saved it yet, so it didn't. Anyway, It's done that a couple more times since then. I do save right away now, just in case that happens again, so it wasn't as big of a deal, but still frustrating. Also, this morning when I drag a wall elevation over to my other screen so I can see what it looks like, my cross hairs disappear. I check the preferences and the "Enable crosshairs" button is checked on. I can get it back on by unchecking and rechecking, but, again, frustrating. It hasn't done that before either. I did just try to update my program and it said it is up to date. Any suggestions? Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I had a similar happening like yours, some years ago, I no longer use Auto-Save, what I now do is manually save, every few seconds while I work (CTRL-S on your keyboard). You might also check if your "MAC Mini" meets the "Minimum Requirements" displayed on the Home Designer Website. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janetcrouch Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 Thank you David. I do save more often now, but I have had other things happening now like suddenly not being able to click on any objects in an elevation. Just some weird little glitches happening in the last couple of days. I did check all the requirements on my Mac mini just now. It was just bought new this year. I have more than enough space etc. I could upgrade to 2024 if that will help the problem. I do have a project I'm designing that involves trusses and it looks like that upgrade might make that easier. I just am not sure if I want to let go of the extra money yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephLombardo Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Is HDP2024 running better on your mac? Do you have Sticky Keys on? When pressed a few times you will not be able to click on items or move its like it Freezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janetcrouch Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 My sticky keys are off. It just froze up on me again. Thankfully, everything is saved. I usually just quit the program. It does seem to happen when I click on several things quickly. I get the eternally spinning wheel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephLombardo Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 How have you found HDPv24? Is HDPv24 better than 23? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janetcrouch Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 My previous version was the 21. But yes, I think it's a bit better. It still happens sometimes, though. It seems to happen when I get too "clicky" and don't give it time to process or something. I guess it can't keep up with my occasional indecisiveness or accidental clicks.
