Common problems

Common problems

Sign-in or access problem

InfraWorks opens, but the expected account, subscription, or access is missing.

Likely fix

Sign out, sign back in with the correct work account, and compare the result to the browser version if one is available.

What to collect

Send a screenshot of the sign-in or access message and the work account you expected to use.

A file, project, or workspace will not open

The app launches, but the item you need will not open or does not load correctly.

Likely fix

Test a second file or project and confirm the original path or location is still available before reinstalling the app.

What to collect

Send the file, project, library, or mailbox name involved plus the exact error shown.

The app is slow, frozen, or crashing

InfraWorks opens slowly, stops responding, or closes unexpectedly.

Likely fix

Restart the computer, install pending updates, and note whether the issue began after a recent change.

What to collect

Send the app version, when the issue started, and a screenshot of any crash message.

First things to try

First things to try

Quick checks before you change anything

  • What exact InfraWorks task is failing: sign-in, opening files, syncing, printing, or startup?
  • Did the issue begin after an update, restart, password change, or new computer?
  • Does the same task work in the browser or on another computer if that option is available?
  • Is the problem limited to one file, project, library, or mailbox, or does it affect the whole app?

Try these fixes first

  • Restart the app and computer before bigger changes.
  • If a browser version exists, compare it to the desktop app before reinstalling.
  • If only one file, project, or mailbox fails, test a second one before assuming InfraWorks itself is broken.
  • Capture the exact message and when the problem started.

Slow down

Do not do this yet / warnings

Avoid these until support says it is safe

  • Collect screenshots of the license prompt, About screen, build year, and missing content path symptoms before handing off.
  • Confirm no local models, styles, or connectors need to be handed off before removal.

What support needs

What details support needs

Send these details

  • A screenshot of the exact InfraWorks message or screen where the problem happens.
  • The work account you used to sign in and whether the same task works in the browser or on another computer.
  • The InfraWorks version shown in the app.
  • The file, project, library, or workflow name involved in the problem.
