AutoCAD 2018 crash when using Dim Linear Fatal Error Code 0x00f8 ba21619ah

Has anyone run into AutoCAD 2018 crashing when using dim linear in a drawing.  The error that pops up is "FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x00f8 Exception at ba21619ah"  It has caused AutoCAD to crash 4 times today.  Up until today, it has been working fine.

Hi @jdlandry504,

I have not seen any issues like this. Is this crash happening in only select drawings?  Try running AUDIT and PURGE and -PU>Regapps to see if you can remove any coruption and bloat. Are these drawings in a 2018 format?

If you would like to share one where this happens i would like to see if I can duplicate the issue.

So it was an issue with the drawing itself.  audit and regapps did not work either.  it had to be exploded and then played into a new drawing.  Unfortunately i cannot share the drawing to to the project contract terms.
