I can’t seem to open the unzipped Layout file. I’ve had issues with this file in the past as a text has been pasted over 5000 times, not sure how but it seems like a bug issue. I did get support for another file I was working on previously, this is another version with different drawings but the same project. Any help to get me to open it will be appreciated.
The text “10.7.24” appears in document.xml approximately 82000 times. I think @colin knows how to get past this problem.
Change the name of the file from MOONEE PONDS BATHROON ELEVATIONS~.zip to MOONEE PONDS BATHROON ELEVATIONS~.layout, and it will then open ok.
One thing to worry about, the ~ in the name means you are working with the backup copy of the LayOut document. I expect there to be a MOONEE PONDS BATHROON ELEVATIONS.layout file somewhere.
I should mention that there were fixes in LayOut 2025 that solved some duplicating of styles issues. The file may not open in LayOut 2024. Do you need to stay in 2024, or could you use 2025?
I’ve tried this too, however it is unable to open. Layout keeps crashing
Because the files kept crashing when I was working on them last year, I had to work on the backup file, hence the reason I’ve attached this file
If there is a reason you need to stay using LayOut 2024, @Barry may have ideas on fixing the file so it can open in 2024.
No particular reason to continue using 2024, I do have the 2025 version. I thought it might be better to open and work on the file on the version it was created in.
