John-Paul Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi, I have 2 drawings open one the main file and another with random details to use. When I select and copy details from the details file to the working file, I get questions about class visibility, turn on the classes etc, accept those then the program crashes. This has happened a few times with different files and continues after a reboot. I have resorted to the new layer import method which has worked in the past, but even now importing a layer through this process crashes the program. Has anyone else observed this behaviour? or is it a bug. Quote Link to comment
John-Paul Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 An update, Well, after 10 restarts and trial and error, I have nailed so far to one group of geometry for a wall cross section. I can select other details on the page and it will not crash, apart from this one random group. If I ungroup all objects at the highest level, then I can cut and paste. Leaving one thing grouped causes a crash. Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 If you have updated from an older version and also this drawing some aspects of older drawings will cause crashes. Quote Link to comment

John-Paul Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi Allan, I think you are right. The original details files represents a huge amount of work to re-create from scratch. Sounds like I'll have to live with it. Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Send the file to Tech support I had a problem with a file and sent it to them and within a few days they found the problem, tapered extrusions that caused a crash as soon as I tried to render a viewport. They told me what to delete and all was good. They are great! Quote Link to comment
