I am a complete newbie to CAD and viacad.
Initially I had a groundplan that eventually started to go jumpy when I zoomed in and out. Viacad was responding very very slowly to the point where it was unusable. Then I discovered it was just that file and other files did not seem "corrupted".
I worked off of an older plan and could save changes as I went along.

Now I notice, if I add a wall and I try to save the file I get the warning that links need to be resolved. If I try to save without resolving links it crashes or at least gives me the spinning wheel. If I try to resolved the links the application crashes.

It's been a steep learning curve to get me to this point so I am eager not to abandon this application but I am kind of stuck now and can't really move forward on my project.

Any help would be really grateful.

I am attaching the file which you will see is full of drafting errors but as you can imagine I am trying to learn.

Update.

I worked around the issue of crashing by selecting all and removing all links. Now I seem to be back in business. Perhaps this was an issue of several previous copy/paste steps where I started new iterations of my project and the links were starting to lose their parents. I may also be completely confused about how the program functions. Either way I am going again. Now, a separate issue has come up where my measuring tape doesn't seem to give me any reading. But that's for another posting.

Hello aac

>> If I try to resolved the links the application crashes.

Repeated found and fixed in next build. The crash was related to a very dense crosshatch. I can get you a beta to confirm if needed.
