Inventor 2026 crashes when placing punch tool

[Darrell.johnson]

Hello, since using the 2026 version of Inventor it always chrashes when placing a punch tool.

As soon as I press OK here it crashes.

I found this link, but I'm not using a iLogic/vba rule to place the punch tool.

Hi!

This is happening with all punches? Even with the "standard" punches?

Hi! Inventor should not crash. But I suspect this could be file-specific. Please share the ide file and the Sheet Metal ipt file here. I would like to understand the crash better.

Many thanks!

I noticed that the standard punches are working just fine.

The ide file was indeed the problem. I created a new version of it and now it's working again. Thank you both

Hi Darrell,

Regardless, Inventor should never crash. Something is wrong. If possible, please share the ide and ipt files with me directly at [email protected]. I would like to see if we can avoid the crash.

Many thanks!
