hard crash when activating the top-level component

[Anonymous]

Hey all, not sure if this is related to a recent update but I'm getting a pretty consitent crash whenever I re-activate the top-level component in my design. Doesn't seem to be related to any other action, but happens every time I do it.

The crash doesn't create a crash report either so it probably isn't being reported to anyone. I'd be happy to share the design I'm working with if someone is trying to debug. Thanks

Can you post a public link of the design here or share it with me via a private message (through the forum)? I'll be happy to see if I can reproduce/resolve on my end.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the file. Upon uploading the Fusion 360 archive file, I found that the top commponent was already activated. I tested activating various components in the design and the root component, but was unable to reporoduce the issue.

Since it doesn't generate a report, I'm thinking the isue may be related to graphics. It sounds similar to the issue being reported in this forum post.

Could you test the suggestion to creating a diagnostic log file (save those) and then change the graphics driver options? If this resolves the issue, it may be helpful to get a copy of the diagnostic log files for further investigation.

I hope that helps!

Thanks,

Hey Nathan, thanks again for helping out with this. I've been away from my computer again for a couple days so have only been able to try this out today.

Switching to Direct X 9 does in fact fix the problem, switching to Direct X 11 does not. For now I'll just leave it at 9. I'll send you a PM with the log files
