Fusion locks up on close when using/editing scripts

Anonymous — Sat, 11 Jul 2020 10:34:34 GMT

I'm having a problem where Fusion360 stops responding on quit. I end up having to force quit the program. It seems to happen only when I have been using the script editor. I am using a MacBook Air 2015 running Catalina 10.15.5. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yeah - you've got to have your scripts running when you close it.

If you stopped or paused or set breakpoints etc ... head back into vscode and click the green run triangle *before* you exit.

If you have catastrophic UI messups while debugging... then yeah... force quit is the only way. It saves some time to take care cleaning up your menu entries etc, so UI crashes don't happen, so force-quit isn't needed 🙂

I still get a crash, but your point did lead me to a workaround. I've found that if I open VSCode separately and open the script file directly in VSCode, it doesn't seem to crash. Any time I click the 'Edit' button on the 'Scripts and Add-Ins' menu, its gonna crash on close.
