RGyori Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have experienced this in VW2013 and now in VW 2014. In a new file create two objects and make them symbols. Now select one symbol and replace it with the other, but double click the replacement symbol on the pop-up menu instead of single clicking. VW crashes every time. Yeah I know that I should only be single clicking the replacement symbol but an inadvertent double click in any operation shouldn't crash VW. ----------------- On another note: I just got back from vacation (Istanbul rocks!), updated to VW2014, and wish to add my voice to the chorus praising the new level of board participation by VW staff.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 27, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 27, 2013 I am not able to replicate this here in a new blank test file. Could you please post a sample file where it has occurred for you? (Saving before attempting the crash) Quote Link to comment

Could you please post a sample file where it has occurred for you? (Saving before attempting the crash) Clarifications: My procedure was to double click on the replacement symbol in the symbols pane followed by clicking "OK". The crash then occurs immediately after. Could it be... my mouse? I use a Kensington Expert Mouse and have one key programmed for a double click. I experimented on a copy of the attached file and the crash only occurred when using the programmed double click. No crash when doing an old fashioned manual double click. Strange.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 27, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 27, 2013 I doubt its the mouse itself in that case, moreso something what the software that controls the custom mappings for multiple clicks. However I have never had any user with an issue like that before. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Did the crash occur after changing workspaces? mk Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 No, it pretty much occurs any time I have a brain freeze and double click. For what it's worth I have attached the crash report generated with each instance. Bob Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 30, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 30, 2013 I have found a number of similar cases in our issue tracking system here. It is likely that this will be corrected in SP1 for Vectorworks 2014 due to a number of other corrections made to fix various other related issues. Quote Link to comment
