Hi all,
Since installing the 2022 update last week my Inventor has been crashing every single time I try to edit a drawing title block. It will allow me to do one edit then will crash on the 2nd attempt every single time.
There is not option to report this crash so I was hoping this issue can be patched?
Kind regards
Lee

Solved by johnsonshiue. Go to Solution.
Issue reported as INVGEN-58158. Not stably reproducing the hard crash. But I tried several times, 2 times I did crash Inventor.
Another thread related to Inventor 2022.2 crashing.
I had this issue with a customer who got crashes running ilogic code that replaced his titleblock.
The ilogic code had no problem before they installed Inventor SP2022.2
After investigating this deeper we found out it was crashing because the title block had image logo in it. And some Old missing OleReferences.
After We vectorized the logo in the template and Title Block we copied. And cleaned the Template for OleReferences. All works fine Again. This I for sure related to Inventor SP2022.2
Try and run the Attached code, to check for Olereferences in your template you copy the Title block from.
A simple test you can do is just to copy a Title block from a template you know has no image file logo in it, and see if Inventor still crashes.
And You can thank the customer that made me aware of your issue you uploaded here.

Same problem here, 2022.2. Any edit on a drawing border makes it crash first time around, after restart it's fine until next drawing set. I emailed @liqinomickey with drawing and screencast file. Are there any plans to fix this issue soon?
Hi @ethan_howardMMXXIV , @nbarbars ,
Sorry for the experience. The good news is that we have already found a solution to solve this issue. And it will be included in future hotfix. In the meanwhile, please uninstall the Inventor 2022.2 update from "windows installed update" to avoide the crash. Thank you.
We will notify this thread once the hotfix is released. Please stay tuned.
Encountering the same issue. It happens every 2nd edit. So I go in to edit my custom titleblack, save and exit the editor, then reopen the editor and save. It will always fail on the second save. This happens when running the function GetTitleBlockTextboxValue() in vb.net code as well.
Hi.
I tried searching the forums for this specific issue (inventor 2022.2 crashing when editing / replacing titleblock" and found this thread.
I've noticed that Inventor tends to crash on the editing of the second idw file. Editing the first idw titleblock always completes file for me.
I've recently discovered that I'm getting errors with the drawing resource transfer wizard when replacing titleblocks and symbols. The first drawing gets successfully updated but the second fails. I've attached the error message - hopefully that will help in fixing this issue.
Regards,
Kenny
Hi
Have you installed the latest '2.1' patch?
This fixed the title block crashing issue.
Hi,
I do not see this "2022.2.1" patch either on the "Autodesk Desktop App" or on the accounts page. The only one that I have available for download is 2022.2
I guess patch rollout is phased and I still have to wait for it to be rolled out to my region.
Cheers.
Hi
Interesting, I do recall seeing something that the patch might have been pulled?
Perhaps @johnsonshiue can comment?
Hi! Yes, 2022.2.1 was temporarily available for a day or two before it was pulled down due to other issues. We are in the middle of rebuilding it and labeling it as 2022.2.2. It will be available soon. You can install on top of 2022.2 or 2022.2.1.
In the meantime, if you are encountering a crash when editing a title block with an image, the easiest way to avoid the crash is to unload Routed System: Cable&Harness Add-In.
Many thanks!
I installed Inventor 2022.2.1 Update and Vault Client 2022.2.2 yesterday (2/14). Vault update worked but I experienced crashes when editing a feature in part mode and couldn't open any assemblies without crashing. I went back to a stable version for me which is 2022.0.1.
Hi Ethan,
Inventor 2022.2.2 update is available now. Please install it and report back. It should fix the random crashes you are seeing.
Many thanks!
I have the problem in inventor 2023.3
When edit title block in drawing template, it crash or logo disapear when saving drawing. I have a ilgoic that chage title block on save.
Hi! It is possible your drawing crash might be a different issue than the original one. Please share the files in zip with me directly johnson.shiue@autodesk.com. I would like to understand the crash better.
Many thanks!
Hi Ethan,
This is a known regression on 2024. We are working on a fix. The fix will be available on 2024.1 update.
Many thanks!
