Hi all,
I usually run Revit via Parallels on my MacBook Pro. I have Parallels 5 and everything works great.
I have, however, wanted to use Boot Camp mode, because Revit just runs faster and more efficiently in that environment than in Parallels; at least that has been my experience. However, I have shunned XP because of the 3GB limit and Vista...well, 'nough said.
Now that Apple has finally released the Windows 7 Boot Camp drivers, I have installed Windows 7 x64 on my new Boot Camp drive. Revit works awesome there! I mean awesome compared to Parallels (where I also am running Windows 7 x64).
Then I ran into a problem. I needed to check something on a door schedule today and I did not want to leave the Mac OS just for that. So I started up Parallels and then Revit. Well, Revit kept crashing. I finally figured out that it was having problems with the Recent Files. Revit in Parallels couldn't find the file the Revit in BC had opened because the file directory naming convention is different.
My workaround: in Parallels, I open the revit.ini file and delete the Recent File list. Revit opens fine and I'm able to open the file. NOTE: When opening a file in Revit (BC) there are no issues...it finds the recent files just fine.
Has anyone else noticed this or come up with a better solution?
Thanks.
