Vector works crashing / no warning

[Jake81]

Has anyone had any problems with vectorworks 10 - 11 crashing with absolutely no warning, exept a pop up message with 'run time error ' displayed.

Thanks jake.

Jake,

Is this happening in Vw 10 AND VW 11?

I also have random crashes in VW 11.5. Never happened in any of the other versions I've used, but since upgrading to 11.5 I get a crash or two a week that really sets me back if I have not saved recently.

VW`11.1 on Windows XP (SP1)

VW Vanished like the Wind!

After updating to VW11.5 I started having slowdown and crashing problems. The service pack didn't help. So I went back to VW11.1. Now i'm having slowdowns in VW11.1.

Yesterday, I was using the Connect/Combine tool to extend several lines to another line using the Alt key. When I clicked on the boundary line, VW instantly **vanished without a trace**. No lock-up, no error message, just desktop. All work not saved was lost. My only guess is that I accidently clicked on a Group behind the boundary line. I've never seen anything like that. Has anyone else ever seen a program disappear in an instant?

Wow, I never had it crash without a trace, until just now! I was editing some text within a drawing, and had the program vanish just like you described. Normally I get an error message, but not this time. Very bizzare.

I had it crashing without a trace also. It seemed to start after the last Windows update. I updated my video drivers (Nvidia) and that seems to have stopped the crashing.

I had just updated my video driver (ATI) the day before the vanishing act.
