X4 Crash on new Dynamic Xform

[rdshear]

Has anyone else had an issue with an Unhandled Exception error when going into Dynamic Xform?

 

I have on a few occasions now.

 

I will select the solid I want to move, and as soon as I click the Dynamic Xform icon, it crashes. This happens before the model goes translucent and before the Gnomon appears. It has happend when the solid has been selected first or when selecting solid after clicking the Dynamic Xform icon and then selecting the green OK ball.

 

Just wondering if I'm the only one.

Just happened to me this morning, but it is intermittent and doesn't happen to me often. In most cases, I convert the solids to surfaces and haven't had the problem in that regard.

Same here, it is intermittent. Hope they can fix it... I think it could be a time saver once working reliably.

oh, it,s one hellova time saver for me. I have had a couple of crashes (few and far between) but I can't nail down what causes it.

[Ken Erman from CNC Software Inc.]

Technically Dynamic Xform is just find a bug caused elsewhere. The problem is actually being caused by running Backplot or Wireframe toolpaths first.

 

We are looking into some ideas that might fix it pretty easily. Keep your fingers crossed.

 

Stay tuned...

Fingers Crossed here!!

Crashes regularly for me.... but i can't stop using it.

I've submitted several crash descriptions through the beta cycles. A typical one is:

 

-open a file, say lathe.

-dynamic xform

-window select everything, solid included.

-double click to end selection

-hang and crash.

Chris, I tried your sequence of commands with no problems.

Tried a couple of times, no issue here either

I know, I submitted it a while back but cnc can't reproduce either. I can make it happen on 2 diff pc's. Then again it's not every single time, maybe 20% of the time. Seems to be somewhat related to the double-clicking to end selection.

 

Oh well at least other people are having crash issues too with the function, hopefully they are all related.

[rdshear]

That is the exact same place it happens with me. Don't know exactly what sequence of operations prior to that causes it though. I must be doing what Ken described, running backplot or a wireframe toolpath first?? Oh well, At least I know they are working on it. I think once I get the hang of it completely it will be great to cut multiple tranforms into one.
