MarkMc Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Wondering if anyone else is seeing issues? Sluggish in general , undo in particular, changing tabs, some dbx. I'm also getting more crashes than ever. I rarely get any, now several a day. At first I thought it was a symbol I created, figured I mucked something up. Got rid of that. Still crashing and seams to be random, doubt they are consistently reproducible. I'm not sure it's anything in particular other than the program wants a break. i.e. copy a layer set, change one line style. Apply that to elevation and crash. Restart, do the same thing and it works fine. I've had 4 or 5 today alone. Mostly working on one plan that was started in X6 but most work was done in 7. But I've had it on several other smaller projects (also started in X6) Between that and a few new quirks I'm thinking I'm going back to X6 except for this specific project. I still have suitable files for all the rest in X6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 As X7 is still in Beta, it is fairly important to get those crash plans to the development team...please, for the rest of us. You don't even need to get all that specific with your report, general conditions and the error message, if any. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 I understand, done enough beta over the years, I'll send it but from past experience this one won't be much help, I can't tell them anything worthwhile. Under the gun on it as it is, just want to get it out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 When backing up entire plan to send in ran across 4 missing textures. They were all for plants. No plants in plan. I had at one point placed a library dining room, guessing that had some but it is deleted. I tried purge materials but still got the message looking for replacements. Could that cause problems? How the heck do you get rid of the offending object? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkMc Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Fourth chief beta, never had this much, especially in the public portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurDent Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I only partially agree with Ron (what happened to your smiling face Ron?). This is a beta and problems should be expected but if everyone avoids the problems by not downloading the beta, then they will probably still be there when it's released. Isn't that the whole point of a beta? I think the best thing to do is always make sure to report any problems you find so that they know about them. I haven't had any crashes using the beta yet so I am guessing that your problems are either from something wrong with your system (video card?) or something wrong with your plan. I have seen some of the slow downs though. Someone told me they are working on them but also told me that if I ran into any particular problem areas to report them to make sure they get fixed too.

Electromen Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm on a Mac, no crashes yet. X6, early on, would crash sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwriem Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I am getting multiple crashes as well. The best I can tell, it is with plans only that I have brought forward from X6 and before. I will be sending this in to tech support. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It must be hard for Chief to design the program with all the different systems out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm on a Mac, no crashes yet. X6, early on, would crash sometimes I can not say the same and I am on a MAC, but I have had very very few crashes. I had one just yesterday, but other than that, I do not remember the last crash.

MarkMc Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I don't think it is the system, at least nothing else is behaving badly including X6, 2020 (at least no worse than normal) Turbocad, Envisioneer but what do I know. I'll try a plan in X7 from scratch and see what happens. I'm wondering if it is some conflict- will pay attention to what else is running to see if I can isolate something. 2020 has a utility to delete "temporary files" that is pretty essential when playing with that. I've been using it to try to stay ahead of problems. It's not as through as CCcleaner but has always helped and it's one click. I recall the undo was an issue when X6 first hit the public, this is about the same. The crashes are what spook me. Only one yesterday- same plan- was open for maybe 1/2 hour. Perspective, switch to vector, change layer set, detail from view-poof. Opened and repeat- no problem. Noticed a few other quirks I'll post separately.

DRAWZILLA Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Using Ccleaner did you also clean the registry, that can also slow everything down if cluttered up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Have not used CC as yet-at least not since this started. I can give that a try but have to find time to save an image so be a few days with work load. Just find it safer to have an image before allowing anything to touch the registry.

annaleisa Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hi All, just started using X7 and am having the same crashing experiences but since have yet to start a project in X7, am also using previous version (X6) project files. My main "crashing" happens when in elevation. Also once or twice have got the error message that I should check my video card, but am using a relatively new desktop with appropriate spec according to chief website, so that's not the real problem (I think).

Doug_Park Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The send to layout / CAD Detail from view does have a known random crash that will be fixed in the final release. Let our support team know about any problems you have, especially crashes. If you can reproduce the crash that is ideal, but if you can't reproduce the problem let us know anyway. We want to hear about all your issues so that we can fix as many as possible before release. Thanks for looking at the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using Ccleaner for many years now and clean my registry every Saturday, the default settings have never givien me any problems-ever. I don't even back the registryup anymore.

MarkMc Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Appreciate it Perry but I'll remain cautious. Should be able to let an image run this afternoon, I'm due anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I also have a slow response when selecting things in the DBX. And also a slow down in performance. Just opened an X6 plan and it definitely behaves differently than when I was working on it in X6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwideziner Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Crashes can be specific to a particular hardware combination, that is why they all need to be sent in. I have not yet had a crash in 3 months of use, this for me has been the most stable version yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think most of the slowness is valid in X7, hopefully it is fixed in the final release. Although, some systems could be causing some slowness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm noticing some of the badness from X5 creeping back into the Library function. Merging, Merging, Merging... Blah, pewy! jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangelo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 X7 is much slower than X6 when opening 3d camera views, but no crashes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
