Constant Crashes in VW2017

[Mike Wright]

I'm getting constant crashes in VW2017 on my imac running Sierra

 

Examples of triggers:

 

Any change to an instrument's properties in the 'edit' window

Changing properties of a RW texture when viewing a design layer in openGL or wireframe

Changing light properties in 'edit light' from the Visualisation Palette when viewing a sheet layer

 

I get no spinning beachball of death, just a straight crash out.

 

I was having these problems before upgrading to sierra yesterday but they seem to be more frequent now.

 

I do not have these problems on my PC based system

 

These crashes are rendering the program virtually unusable on a mac system

 

EDIT attached crash dump

sorted by deleting the 'RuntimeCache' folder thanks to VSS support

This will be fixed in a service pack release apparently

Still no fix for this

 

it is a constant and extremely frustrating problem rendering the software virtually useless as a 3D visualisation tool.

 

Combined with the Glow textures problem reported elsewhere I spend more time restarting VW than I do working on projects.

 

Not good enough Vectorworks
