Hi Spring

I think that, if I am understanding Emma's workflow correctly, you do not need to recreate the entire project, only the layout part. If I have misunderstood, I would first try loading the same project, then creating a new layout from the template, then reincorporating all the various settings. If this works, it would save a lot of time.

Hello Emma,

Thanks very much for your suggestions.

Pondering your workflow suggestions, are you suggesting that I create a new project in a new version of QGIS by dragging the old project into a empty project in the new version? Do I have that right? The .qpt file is a print template?

It sounds workable but time-consuming. As it is, I'm up half the night just trying to get some of this work done. I may give it a try but am leery of investing more time in "run the Atlas and see if it works."

I do appreciate your help and will probably give it a try, all fingers crossed.

Thanks again...

Hi Spring
I am sorry you are experiencing this. I would strongly advise you to move up to the latest LTR of QGIS 3.36 when you can.

It sounds like there are some buggy things happening in the background, so maybe you need a clean version.

If this was me, I would follow this workflow.

* Open up in the original version and create a .qpt from the print layout
* Create a new product in the latest LTR

* Locate the old project in the Browser window

* Expand that project and drag the files into the new product.

* In the print layout:

* load the qpt
* Copy over the Atlas parameters from your old product (you can have both versions open at the same time)
* Run the atlas and see if it works.

Good luck!
Cheers

Okay, note that.

However, I cannot get QGIS 3.32.3 to load copies of a couple of my
projects. It seemed to hang up while dealing with certain files which I
then went back to the original 3.16.4 and removed.  Then it would hang
up on a different file.

In a new project, 3.32.3 will load those files but not from the original
project.  Is 3.32.3 known to have problems?  It seemed to install all
right from the Windows .MSI installer.

Update: the program will actually load those files, it just takes up 10
min. to do so.  And then there are huge delays during the work session.
The files loaded individually into a new project with no problem.

Once I finally got it working, I was able to try printing the Atlas. No
change, it just prints one blank page.  No error messages, just a fail.

Not sure what the answer is, I don't have the time to keep trying new
versions when they are mostly a disappointment.

Nevertheless, thanks very much for your thoughts...

Hi Spring

The rasters should not be a problem. If they are not referenced, QGIS
will simply revert to querying you and asking you find their correct
locations. The file sizes should be fairly irrelevant, especially if
they have the pyramids built.

Cheers.

Hello Nigel,

Okay, thanks very much, just on the verge of updating now.

Your tip about using a copy of the project file is a good one. Will
certainly do that.

I hope the update will fix the Atlas printing problem but I'm not
holding my breath.  It contains several large map raster files which
may be the problem.

Thanks again...

Hi Spring

It may be worthwhile trying this. Even 3.26 final release, as an
interim version. Also, ensure you do not open the original project
file, but rather a copy, in case you save it and cannot return
(possibly) to using it with the older version.

OK, thank you. I'm using 3.16.4, perhaps I should move up to 3.32.3?

Hi

I have had to revert to using an older version (3.32.3) for one of
my projects, where the Atlas sheets bombs the application
(3.34.3). Is this the issue you are having?

Hello,

Printing a PDF Atlas is a total fail - 1 page if I'm lucky,
mostly 1 blank page.  Is there a work around?

Thanks very much.  I'm sorry if this has been already covered,
there seems to be no searchable forum.
