Autodesk Formit for iPad Crashing upon Saving

AdrianLopezHanson — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 14:41:47 GMT

I have a relatively detailed model that I've been working on for some time using the Autodesk Formit app on my 4th Gen iPad pro. However, it sometimes crashes spontaneously resulting in a loss of all progress since the last successful save. Worse than that, it crashes very often when I attempt to save my progress. It's gotten to the point that I can't make any changes at all because it crashes immediately every time I try to save. I don't know if my model is too complex/detailed for the app to handle or if there's a bug that needs to be fixed, but it allows me to make changes all day long, but crashes upon saving without fail. I've relaunched the app, deleted one item from my model (a very small change), and attempted to save the change many times; but it's crashed without saving every time. Is there any solution to this? I bought a top of the line iPad pro last year so if my iPad can't handle it I don't see how anyone else's can.

Hi @AdrianLopezHanson,

How awful! We certainly don't want this happening.

Are you able to share the model with us?

Unfortunately I don't think I can upload a copy here; the max attachment size appears to be 71 MB and my model is nearly 800 MB. The level of detail I've put into it might just be more than the app can handle, but it functions just fine apart from saving and I can still open/edit/save earlier copies that are equivalently detailed so I'm not sure.

FormIt for Windows could handle 800 MB, but iPad may have more trouble.

Do you have access to a cloud sharing system like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc., where you could provide a link for us to download?
