Program crashing when I try to open 3D view.

The 3D view was working in 2016, but crashes when I open it in 2017. Any settings I should change to adjust to the new update?

Might this be your problem?

I don't have any dashboards open. I click on the 3D icon in the taskbar and it crashes.

@Kari Payton Are you using any text or billboard objects?

@Adrian Haws

I just deleted them but still the same issue.

@Kari Payton Could you send your model in a private question?

The crash is happening in executing the Text Display code on the Text object named "Date and Time" in your model. This looks like a bug with the new FlexScript parser.

You can get around the bug by adding scoping braces { } around the formatNone case in the switch (format).

I think something is going wrong with the destructor for the strings defined in that case. I'll add a case to the dev list to look into what's happening.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
