Fatal error when duplicating coordinate system

ericL4ECC — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 14:35:47 GMT

Hello everyone - I've run into a very strange issue where when I try to duplicate a specific coordinate system to change the units C3D crashes every time. I can duplicate other ones no problem. And I also tried duplicating a similar coordinate system and matching the parameters and when I went to save it still crashed. My C3D and computer are all updated. Video attached. I had previously made another duplicate of this coordinate system but I don't see why that would cause any issues. I also have reached out directly to autodesk support but I haven't gotten any helpful response yet and this is an issue I need resolved badly.

Thanks for any insight!

Hi Eric,
I'm not seeing that issue. Have you tried creating the coordinate system from scratch? (MAPCSCREATE)

This worked. I was completely ignorant of that command. Did MAPCSCREATE and started with 18N, changed the units and it worked perfect. Thank you so much Dave I appreciate the help!
