AutoCAD Inventor :: 2014 Update 1 Random Crashing?
Jun 9, 2013
I am using a DELL M6600 with Nvidia Quadro 3000M (311.10)
I have most Autodesk PDSU software loaded for 2013 & 2014 plus the CFD and Sim software.
Windows 7 x64
This is my demo machine and I find that Inventor 2014 is randomly crashing. (Bad news in front of a customer)!
This happens when I am working in another application whilst Inventor is in the background with a model open.
Inventor will then randomly crash. I don't get the Autodesk crash report - I get the window that states - do I want to close the app , debug or whatever.
we've just migrated to the 2014 release of the inventor suite and use vault basic. With the 2014 version of inventor the program immediately crashes when attempting to open an autocad dwg. Inventor dwg files open fine. We never experienced this issue in our previous release. We only use the dwg format and because the preview is not always available it often happens that we open an autocad dwg in inventor and vice versa. Crash is reproduced on multiple maches.
So 2011 had some issue and I though 2012 would get those fixed. I was wrong. More problems occur. With 2011 I was able to open assemblies directly through vault. Now with 2012, since the vault issue updates as it opens, I crash on any sizeable model or assembly. So now just to open a file, I must get it, then go to inventor and open it, and hit no when the refresh window come up. If I hit yes, it crashes. If I hit no it open, then if i hit local/global update it crashes. So technically I cant do any new work with any of my larger assemblies (2000+ parts) I have sent out numerous error reposrt, only for autodesk to say that they can replicate the problem. I have SP1 installed, and this is happening with other users at my company as well.
System:
Windows 7 64 Bit Solid State HD 24GB RAM Xenon Processor Nvidia Quadro FX 580
I've used Photoshop CS6 Extended Edition for over a year on my current laptop (specs below), but now it just crashes at random points. I get the message 'Photoshop has stopped working' and then I can only close it. I didn't change any settings. First I thought it happened because I also had Visual Studio open (also uses alot ram etc), but even after I closed it and did a reboot Photoshop kept crashing :'(
My specs are: Pc: Dell latitude D630 86x CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.20Ghz Graphics: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family Os: Windows 8 Pro Ram: 2Gb
I know it isn't the best you can get but first I could use Photoshop without any problems.
Edit: I have updated all my drivers and it still won't work.
I am running AutoCad 2013 LT on a Windows 7 O.S. , 32-Bit, 4gb ram,. After I installed Service Pack (2), getting memory error and crash. Tash manager shows a Acbrowserhost.exe--memory consumption thatcontinuously increases. A co-worker can open the same drawing in AutoCad 2011 LT with no issues. Before the Service Pack was installed, I wasn't having any issues.
I automatically updated last week for my 2014LT and since then the LAYERS hasn't worked properly. Layer Manger still seems to work correctly, but the Layers tab on the Home ribbon does not. I am running Windows 7 Ultra, Quad Core i7 with 16 MB of Ram, and had been running without errors until this last update.
When/if I select the "Freeze Layer" tab from the top ribbon, and then select the layer on the drawing it turns it off as it should, but if I then use the pull down to locate the layer and turn it back on, nothing happens. It does not appear again; it may not even show up now (see below). I found that if I go to LAYER MANAGER and turn on the layer it still doesn't turn on unless I turn it off and then back on; which will bring it back unfrozen. Also, some layers when frozen do not then show up on my pull-down list or LAYER MANAGER list unless I save the drawing and restart 2014LT. The layer then shows up on the Layer Manger and ribbon.?
Just love updates when everything was already working properly, and then they don't after the "Update"!
I just did the most recent OS update on my iMac and now Photoshop CS4 will not launch. I've read that OpenGL can cause issues, but how do I turn that off when I can't even launch the app? Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and InDesign are all working fine.
I made a change to my materials library. I changed the color (from dark grey to light grey) of one material. I then saved this back to my library.
Now, when I start a new part, I get a warning that the material does not match the library. So, rather than using the material in the part, I opened the template and updated the material to match the library. (Manage >Update Styles).
This is where the problems come into play. In the update styles dialog, if I compare materials against my custom materials and then compare it to my Favorites, it just a continuious circle. It is like the favorites are stored inside the part and do not get updated to match the custom materials library. (I thought the whole idea behind using a library was to get the information out of the parts).
Here is a short video showing what it does. [URL] .....
The only way I can get the favorites to match is to delete the favorite material, update the style and the add the favorite back in. That is a bunch of work. The problem I got with this is that there are thousands of parts that have been created that has this favorite in it. The only way to update these is to open each part (if I knew which one), delete the favorite, update the materials and then add the favorite back in.
One of the computers at my office keeps randomly freezing, i.e. Windows freezes, not just Inventor, when working on a simple frame generator assembly. The freezing seems to be completely random, it can happen 2 minutes after opening the assembly or it can happen after 2 hours.
This only happens on this one computer with this one assembly.
The computer in question is a new Dell Precision M4600 (like a week old) running Autodesk Factory Design Suite Premium 64 bit (including Autodesk Inventor standard edition). Installing Service Pack 1 had no effect on the problem.
My goal is to let some wheels roll in a path which exist from 2 straight paths and a corner. I can constrain them to 1 path at a time but not to all of them so my wheel makes a corner. I
You can find the guide rail as attachment. There is a path in the sketch from which i sweeped my form but he divides it in the 3 parts so i can't constrain the center point of my wheel to this path.
I am wondering if it is possible to do a style update (or style update check) upon open of a drawing?
The example would be that I have stuff made from way back that the colors/dimension sytles ect dont match the current standard and upon opening a file where they are not current, it would either prompt to update immediatly OR update automatically with no prompting (preferred method).
I am doing a massive amount of updates from old files recently and to save myself 1 - 3 clicks per drawing would be wonderful.
My students draw all of the individual parts of a product as ipt files. Next they create an assembly using those ipt files on a iam template. Next they generate a multiview assembly drawing on a idw template from the iam file. On the idw multiview assembly random visible lines disappear and we are not able to get them back. Students are turning of the visiblity of some of the hidden lines on the idw assembly but not all hidden lines.
I'm working on some vb.net code which updates the sizes of parts within sub assemblies and then selects the correct sub assemblies to place and constrain into a larger assembly.
When I run my software all the sub-assemblies should open, resize and then get placed into the larger assembly.
This code works up to a point. However I'm having some trouble when one of my sub assemblies is placed and constrained into the larger assembly - Inventor crashes.
If I step through my code line by line, it works fine. I think that this is because Inventor has more 'time to think' about what it is doing between placing the sub assembly and constraining it (updating the parts i guess).
After discovering this I wrote a line in my code which uses the vb.net stopwatch class to wait 20 seconds between installing the part and constraining it, this allows everything to work without Inventor crashing.
What I'd like to know is if there is a command i could use in vb.net which would allow me to wait for the sub-assembly to be ready to be constrained rather than waiting 20 seconds? Although this works I don't think it's the 'correct' method of doing things.
I have some large files that I get from a customer in the form of .iges. They give me the .iges because they use CATIA. My problem is that when I try to open the .iges file, it will sit there and try to open in Inventor for about 5 mintues and then the program will just end. It doesn't give me any sort of error message before crashing, it just dissapears. I can open the files in Mastercam just fine. I tried to open the file in Mastercam and save it as a .stp. The same thing happened when opening the .stp in Inventor. I tried to change some of the options that are available when opening these files in Inventor and that doesn't seem to work. I need to get these files open in Inventor desperately.
Encountered crash during work with Inventor 2013?it happens only when viewing 3D part/assembly (not during 2D drawings), sometimes after few hours of work, sometime after only few minutes system and program were reinstalled many times etc. everything that can be change was changed to new parts (ram, etc.)
situation is still the same after crash computer needs to be reeboted with hard reset
i got a good one, just installed 2013 and vault upgrades, and all WAS fine until we found a issue. If i trying opening a MODEL (ASSEM OR PART) from the vault server, (not locally), it ill work...yeah....NOW if i do the same thing BUT browser down 3 sub folders, it will crash....fo example, if i browse to ....Railpower ProjectsNew NomenclatureHARDWARE CATALOGCATALOG BB007. choose any part...poof.. good bye inventor. This happens at any folder at 3 levels deep...with any part or assembly. we have do this with about 100+ senerios - different parts - different assemblies. the only thing constant is after going 3 folders deep (or more) it will crash
New installation on a new computer. First was crashing when I adjusted som Applicatin Options. Ran Service Pack 1. That seemed to work. But now I cannot even open up one *.ipt file without it crashing.
I'm having a problem with Inventor 2011 professional on a 64Bit machine. I can make any size assembly with no problem but as soon as I go to make an idw the program crashes and shuts down. It doesn't matter if the base view is one part or 1000 parts as soon as I go to place the view inventor shuts down and I get an error.
I've got a recurring problem with using hatch patterns on 2013. Importing a new hatch pattern more than often than not results in Inventor winding up the memory usage on the PC to bursting point as it runs through "Calculating containment of profile areas" that seems to be called when previewing a hatch pattern.
The problem seems to be with more complex patterns (I'm using a stone wall type hatch - mountainledge.PAT is a prime example) and I think the issue is related to the scaling factor used. IF you remember to wind the scale up BEFORE trying to preview the pattern you can get away with a few minutes of down time, but if you leave the scale at 1 its goodnight!
It would be nice if Inventor could warn you (a bit like it does if you foolishly opt for a huge part array) becasue not only do you lose your inventor files but also any other unsaved app data as in my case my Dell M6500 PC just dies as all available memeory just gets swallowed up.
Perhaps I should try multiplying the co-ords in the PAT file by 25.4 as it could be that we use the poorer cousin of the good old inch system. metric???
This happens almost evertime I go to a .ipn to update changes and save. It freezes w/ no cahnce of coming back. Two other things that is troubling me about the .ipn is that sometimes it will rearange itself w/ all the parts at 0,0,0 and or won't let me ballon any parts. After closing the file and opening it again it either does the same exact thing or takes the balloons but throws the pick points of into space......

I am using Inventor 2010 and I want to drag out the Format section of the Annotation ribbon to my desktop so it's always there. I have it like that on my PC but it will not co-operate on my Laptop. Everytime I pull it out, my Inventor crashes. I have the most recent update (version 14.4.0000.28400) and I am running Win7 64 bit. why I keep crashing Inventor?
I have a FrameGen BOM setup as desired and added the column for Mass/lbmass to get the weight. However on those rows where there are multiples of the Item QTY (2 of this, 3 of that) the Mass shows just the weight of one item rather than the combined weight...which is what I want. I tried making a custom property call WEIGHT and entering an expression, but in that selection I do have mass but not Item QTY as a selection.
In the right upper corner of autosek Invetor 2014 is a button wich says New (NEU = German) if i click there the window gets bright gray and says no response (keine Rückmeldung) ... i started the Laptop several times but it never Works.
