Probes staying on screen after "Delete All Probes"

I'm working on a very large FEA analysis right now and the interface is paaaaaaainfully slow.  With that I'm experiencing a new and fun problem and it has to do with placing probes on results.  When I clear all the probes off the display with the button on the toolbar, there is still sometimes 1 probe left on the screen.  In fact it's still there even after unloading the display results.  In order to solve the issue, I have to close Inventor and re-open everything again.

 

I am working on my local drive, and my PC specs are as follows:

Windows 10 1903

i7-8700 @ 3.2 GHz

16 GB of RAM

Nvidia GTX 1060 6 GB (Updated drivers)

500 GB SSD NVME OS drive

 

 

 

It seems like it happens if you hit ESC to cancel while your mouse is hovering over your model.  It's quite repeatable.

I would also be interested in a solution.  I have just noticed exactly the same thing.  2021 latest.

It is difficult to put a finger on.  It seems something to do with using the probes.

I also have a zombie probe result which can neither be selected nor deleted, and persists through ADSK Nastran starting, stopping and re-running.

 

Like Star Wars The Phantom Menace, it will always be there. It will never go away.

And when I try to make new probes, Inventor crashes. Cool and normal!

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Sorry to hear about the crash.

  • What version of Inventor are you using?
  • Did you submit the crash report? If so, do you have the report number?
