Crashing centerline crosshair?

[acwtzwegers]

I have a bunch of old drawings that I'm converting to ACM (or our version there of) and am experiencing a repeated crash - causing a complete lockup. I then have to use taskmanager to get out... without getting a crash reporting window.

Now I'm wondering if this is related to my own methods or an actual bug.

To recreate:

- have a circle in Model (layer etc doesn't matter)

- make a scale area around it (circle or rectangle.)

- automatically make a view of that in a layout

- go to that layout

- double click in the created viewport

- use CHSPACE to move the circle to the layout

- use Centerline Cross (amcencross) to give the circle a centerline cross

- crash

It will not do it when you use a acad mview to create a viewport.

To me it seems that the chspace command in combination with the scale area makes the cross crash.

Been able to reproduce it in 2015 and 2012 on different Win 7 64 bit machines.

I have been able to reproduce this behavior according to your workflow and have forwarded this onto our Development Team for further review.  With that said, the Scale Areas (AMSCAREA) was designed for dividing model space into regions with different scales.  This then gives the user the ability to annotate different areas within model space at different scale factors.  Since using the MVIEW command is not causing the described behavior, I would continue to use that function as a viable workaround to this issue.
