LDCad 1.6 (win+linux)

[Merlijn Wissink]

Probably not that useful since you're working a major new version, but I still wanted to let you know that LDcad still sometimes crashes on my machine when I switch between 2D en 3D view. It's by far not as often as with one of the earlier alpha versions; it happened to me 3 times in a ~month now or something like that.

Have you found any 'scenario' leading to this or is it totally random?

I'm doing bugfixes this week so I want to take another look but without a scenario or at least some details about the working environment I can't even begin to look for it in thousands of lines of code

Weird bugs can sometimes be as simple as a 1 2 3 scenario, I just recently found this one (also seemed random) in the same way

Put a dynamic part with auto groups (e.g. pneumatic hose) in group layer 0
close the file.
close any other file -> CRASH

It's totally random (at least it seems to me). I do have a feeling that it has a higher chance of appearing shortly after I switch between 2D and 3D view (and possibly quickly moving the camera after switching), but I cannot confirm that at all.

The last time it happened I reopened the file, did the pretty much exact same thing and nothing happened. It's been more than a week now without the problem (and I've been heavily using LDCad last couple of days); it's very rare. Also, the last time it happened I looked into the logs and there was nothing out of the ordinary there.

It could just as well be something specific on my PC and not really a bug in LDCad.
