Bug: Reproducible crash when adding external component

[jarrod.smith]

Assemble -> New Component -> External [don't select a file] -> OK.

Crash every time.  I'm on Win10.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. I see your crash reports, but I'm having trouble reproducing it and might need a little help here.

When you say "don't select a file" do you mean a folder location or a parent in the assembly? In either case, Fusion will not let me use OK until both of these fields are filled. Can you describe this a little more please so I can understand what's happening, and most important how to get into the state you describe.

Thanks,

2 things:  First, when I wrote this bug report I thought the feature did something that it does not do (I thought it was how you *import* an external component to a project).  So I misunderstood what the dialog is for and thus the language I used in the report is confusing/inaccurate.

Second, I am starting to think this is file-specific.  I can't reproduce it with a different file than the project I've been working on.  And with this specific file, I cannot get this feature to NOT crash the program no matter what I choose for the the parent, or the folder location.

Let me know how you want to proceed.

So if I understand fully, you have a particular design that crashes when you attempt to create an external sub component.

It sounds like it might repeat in debugging. Can you share the design so I can test it? (file > share public link) or send me a PM with the link.

Yes, we are on the same page now.

Thanks. The crash is repeatable using your model. I'm sending it along with a report about the crash.
