Importing RasterImages crashes AutoCAD 2016

[Anonymous]

When my normally unfailing app imports RasterImages into a drawing in vanilla AutoCAD 2016 the program crashes with a Fatal Error at aproxximately 30 to 40 images. I have read in another forum that it is a bug in AutoCAD 2016 (jpg-raster-image-problem-with-c3d2016), and Autodesk is working on it?

Maybe this info will help: The error report says the crash is caused by de function acedUpdateDisplay(), after my app called the method: ApplicationServices.Application.UpdateScreen().

Sorry but we'll need more information...

Can you try submit the error support? Make sure to include your email address on the report. Then please share the report number here (so I can track it), maybe there is something there...

Thanks for your fast reply.

I submitted the error report: CER_112946801.

Sorry, no luck with the CER (no relevant data)

Based on your description, looks like a memory leak that appears after some time.

*Maybe* can help with variable handling with USING, to ensure everything is released in time, but that's a big guess based on the info we have...

Hi Augusto,

My college already did a bug report, which is dealed by Bryce Thelin of Autodesk Support Team:

"This is an issue that our development team is working on right now... ...The bug report has a high priority status.

For now, the only real workaround we have is to use AutoCAD 2013, 2014, or 2015 for drawings that have lots of images."

I hope there will be a Hotfix for this issue soon.

Regards,

Henk
