The problem is that there is no particular dataset that causes the crash, so at the moment I can't even think of one in particular. However, what I can say at the moment us that it is usually larger assys that have several sets of flexible subassys, that may have flexible assys in them as well. For instance, I have an oven door assy, and then in that assy I place a subassy that contains a fan and an electrical harness. The fan will be constrained to the door, but harness will not be since I need to move it once I place the door into the main oven assy, so I make the fan assy flexible within the door. Then, I insert the door assy into the top level oven assy, and make the door assy flexible so I can then move the harness in the door to the location in the oven wherre it needs to be showed. So, in addition to the door assy, I will usually anywhere from 5 to 10 other subassy withiin the top level that will also be flexible. At this point is where I begin having issues with inventor locking up when placing constraints, especially if you accidentally place a constraint and it is conflicting with another one. When that happens, I've sat and waited for an hour for the program to update the constraint, just for it to tell me the constraint is bad, and then crash shortly thereafter. I'm beginning to suspect that it may be a memory issue, but I am not sure.
