Inventor crashing

[timsautodesk2015]

I'm really hoping someone can shed some light on what is going on. Last week I downloaded the latest update, and now every time I right click in the CAM browser, it crashes.. This isn't a crash that gives me the option to send a report either, it just closes/crashes Inventor without warning....I'm currently using Inventor build 208 release 2023.1, and CAM Ultimate build 10.1.0.21376

I have the exakt same issue, it just closes with no error msg.

You're not the only one. We will all have to wait this one out. I just sent a data set to Autodesk this morning; I was getting those exact symptoms when closing a .dwg (but it's too random to nail it down right now).

Hi Folks,

Not all crashes are the same. The OP's crash seems Inventor CAM related. I will work with the project team to understand it better.

Many thanks!

[jeff.pek]

When this happens is it with a particular model? Or any model at all that has CAM data in it?
Jeff

[timsautodesk2015]

I just tested this, and it seems to happen with any model that has CAM data. 

[timsautodesk2015]

WAIT THIS ONE OUT... LOL  Its a bit difficult to do ANYTHING in Inventor without right clicking in the CAM browser.. But we will patiently wait I guess  😁

[jeff.pek]

Does this happen only on a particular machine? Or does it happen on multiple machines? 

Does it happen for particular nodes in the browser? Or any node?

I've not heard of anyone else reporting this sort of behavior, so it seems like there's something in particular in your machine that's triggering this. Do you use any CAM templates?

Jeff

[timsautodesk2015]

No Jeff, if you read the prior entries,  ALOT of people are dealing with this very same issue, and yes, I use CAM templates, and drilling in my templates is an issue too, which I've been patiently waiting for a solution for that as well.... but I am not using templates to make this crash happen, just simply right clicking in the CAM browser, is causing a crash.

[timsautodesk2015]

If you look at the 3rd entry, I posted the error from the event log in windows

I'm trying to be helpful, which is why I'm asking all of these things.

Without a crash report, it's a bit of a needle-in-a-haystack situation to try to figure out what is happening and why. I'd like to try to eliminate the templates -- which can come into play when the context menu that's shown when you right-click on something in the browser -- as a contributor. This is also why I asked what kind(s) of objects you're clicking on, as this also influences what's happening at that time.

Can you go into your local directory, at %localappdata%\Inventor CAM, and rename the "templates" folder to something else, e.g., "zztemplates"? I wonder if it continues to crash when you do something in the browser, or if that goes away.

Thanks for helping me try to help you.

Jeff

[timsautodesk2015]

Thanks Jeff, this is why I answered you, I understand totally.. I will try to rename my templates folder, and let you know.. Thank you!!

[timsautodesk2015]

I will say this, the context menu doesn't even show up. It just crashes....

[jeff.pek]

Understood.

[timsautodesk2015]

I tried to rename the templates folder like you suggested, and it still crashed, I also tried creating a new templates folder, and placed it in different locations, and it still crashed. Thank you for the suggestion though!!

[jeff.pek]

Thanks for trying that.

Have you tried this on another machine?

Jeff

[johnsonshiue]

Hi! This is just a wild guess. In case, it could be UI related. Please try the following.

1) Make sure Windows display setting (resolution and scale) is set to the recommended setting.

2) Right-click on Inventor desktop icon -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Change High DPI settings -> check both boxes.

3) Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables -> create "QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR” and set it to 0.

If above does not work, try the instruction on reply #18 in the following thread.

Many thanks!

[timsautodesk2015]

I thank you for the help, but unfortunately, none of this worked.. 

[jeff.pek]

It would still be good to know if this problem is specific to this one machine? Or whether it also reproduces on others. I don't think I've seen that in the thread.

Thanks,

  Jeff
