file opening corrupted

hi everyone,

 

there is something wrong where i try to open my file and the assets i have previously brought in have now darkened and it's not to do with the lighting. Something is going wrong between when i start a new file than save and close. It works perfectly fine when i start a new file, it's only opening every file that i have saved. There is also something that is strange, when i open a file it gets to 45% really quickly and gets stuck and won't open for another few minutes- it's as if the file is huge and taking forever to process, but the file is only 22mb. I have tried everything- force quitting, restarting. uninstalling, re-installing, downloading older versions. Nothing works. Yesterday Dimensions was working perfectly fine, it was only this morning that everything has become corrupted like this.

Please help i have had no luck with customer support.

have you got Photoshop?

illustrator is for vector software and Png is a bitmap type of file... I would test save your decals in Jpg for use with Dimension as a workflow or at the very least Photoshop Png with an extra white background layer [not transparent as metal drivers can't rendor them]

what file type are the assets saved as?

 

for example Dimension 1 saves a model as Dn [the default Dimension file type] then you install\ upgrade to Dimension 2 = those old Dn files now have to be converted to type 2 Dn files or they become corrupt

the assets are saved as png, exported from illustrator. I'm sorry I don't understand type 1 and type 2 Dn files. When i open dimensions files that others have sent to me, it opens smoothly and quickly. However when I try to open the ones that I have created, it is when that happens
