How to Crash SW2021 for Sure

3D Design

Hello @ all and @ all

On two of my machines (a station and a laptop) both in W10 and SW 2021, I have an unstoppable trick to make SW waffle!

Could you test yourself with simple parts if you have the same awesome feature.
To be honest, the feature only seems to be available on ASMs, but not a single part.

Kind regards

Hello @Zozo_mp  I don't really understand what "feature" you're talking about.

Same as @Sylk there must be one or 2 explanations missing, I don't understand!

Hello @Sylk 

If I use the section view function, there is a bug that when I select the circular areas indicated in blue with a red arrow, it works normally.

On the other hand, if I select the areas of the section indicated in red with green arrows, it plants SW and this regardless of the assembly. And that's not glop

To overcome this disadvantage, I am obliged to create a sketch and a removal of material from a middle shot.

I don't remember getting this PB with the 2019 version.

Kind regards

Hello

I don't have the problem with SW19 (no 21 on hand)

Hello @Zozo_mp 

I did a quick test in SW2021 with a much simpler part, and I didn't have any problems,
Could you share your piece so that I can test?

PS: I think that the one who chose the colors of the arrows and the notes looked too much at the 7th company :-)

Not this problem under 2021 SP4.1

Good evening, dear colleagues,

Thank you for your tests

So I will submit the problem to the Hot-line.

I will keep you informed.

Kind regards

Solidworks refuses to give me a pack and go (better and better).

I'm waiting for Monday for the hotline because I'm on the move.

Hello Zozo,

 

Under 2019 sp05 (and previous versions) it was never possible for me to select the surfaces that are in the cutting plane.

What I've already seen is when you select a top surface for example, it's that you see its overall shape (uncut) and not necessarily on the same plane which is quite confusing, but it doesn't make SW crash especially since they removed the zero thickness surface problems.

 

Kind regards

Hello everyone  ;-)

Well the problem was solved by the hot line, although it could not reproduce on their machines just like you the PB and no similar pb was listed among the experts. On the other hand, we could reproduce the PB indefinitely on my machines.

On the workstation, it was necessary to clean up the C++ modules and put the right modules back in.

The problem is due to the fact that the de-installation of the old versions was not done in full during the installation of the 2021

An intervention at the level of the BDR has finished improving the whole.

As for the laptop, a little cleaning at the BDR level was enough to solve the problem because there was never an install of SW before 2021.

Thank you for your opinions which allowed me to see that it was not a SW bug.

Kind regards
