Fusion keeps crashing in Drawing mode

[Anonymous]

It is super weird that my Fusion keeps crashing when I am trying to do a 2D drawing in Drawing mode randomly. I can list a few issue I have met after I met countless crash down, and the Fusion team would probably have already received a lot of report from me.

1. I tried to open one 2D drawing I have already made. While internet seems a little slow, but not too bad, it keeps crashing every time I tried to open it even though it seems like it is well downloaded. So I add it to offline cache then open it. It works now.

2. I tried to move the position of one dimension. It crashed and never came back to life.

3. I tried to zoom in and out and move around to see details, it crashed.

4. I had changed something to a very simple drawing set and it crashed every time when I tried to save and quit. I had to determinate the process in Activity Monitor since it was about to burn my laptop. And when I opened the file, there is no backup and all I had done was lost. It happen twice, so I saved after every move the third time. After which no.5 issue happened.

5. When there are quite a few files need to be uploaded to server, it can only upload two files at one time. Then I have to quit and reopen the fusion to start upload another 2 files, on and on till I upload all files.

6. An alert window popped up once saying drawing damaged. I promoted a history version and it popped up still. I ended up with rebuilding that drawing.

These above are circumstances that I can remember, while there are still a lot. Every crashed took me too much time to reopen Fusion. And for most of the case I don't have any recovery backup that I can use to save some lost. This is the most annoying thing. Anyway, I haven't met too bad issue in 3D modeling which is always quite smooth, but recently our project requires a lot of technical 2D drawings. But my colleagues who has been working under Windows Fusion seem to have way way less issue than me. Do hope Fusion team can probably help look into these issue under Drawing mode.

Hi freddieXS42P,

The last update (2.0.4567) which was posted on Monday evening addressed a number of crash issues with Drawings on Mac.  Can you confirm what version you're using (Help > About).  A typical installation should auto-update, but if you're on a Mac App Store or Admin install you'll need to update.  

Thanks,
Chris
