I have crashed Viacad 4 times today. Each time it was while doing dimensions.

screen turns white and flashes on and off rapidly.

it does not affect any other running software or processes. But Viacad becomes nonresponsive and flashing. So I shut it down via task manager.



here are my specs:

I was trying to push / pull ovals into a block. I was setting dimension lines for the edge of the oval lines or actually conical lines. Then I moved the conical lines and hit undo then redrew the dimension lines and it crashed.

The other times were simlar- I was undoing moves and resetting dimension lines. I still have problems with drag move and snap. And if use translate it erases all my object piecemarks I assigned.

but that is the kinda stuff I am doing: push pull, drag copy, rotate, undo and dimensions.

I have had these white flashing screens and crashes since V9 was introduced and I have had them on 3 different systems, I keep getting told it is my system but it is not.
It is Shark and I think it is the related to opengl or directx on 64 bit systems because I never saw this once in all my years of using Shark on 32 bit systems.
I have observed two things on this, it is related to time as it mostly starts happening after about an hour, and it depends on how Shark wakes up.
