I have so many awesome programs that very rarely lock up the way ViaCAD does. It seems to me that the code must be very disorganized. So many times I will be closing a drawing and the program will just crash. It gets locked into some kind of never ending loop. I can't understand why the code can't cycle to some recovery files. Even a heavy program like Blender very rarely crashes like ViaCAD. I spent many hours modeling today and creating some amazing creations to slice and print. Just closing the files ViaCAD CRASHES. It will barely let me get back to any screens that work. Clicking close, X in corner.Constant Not responding errors. Its been like this ever since I bought ViaCAD. Super frustrated looking at my awesome model that can't even close. Oh well I saved it a bunch of times. Wish they would go back and clean those files. Instead of just stacking more bugs in the file cabinet. Such an awesome program when it works.

Which ViaCAD Version and Windows version and Graphic Drivers version use you? Sometimes you can wait until the operation finish. Please watch the Process with Systeminformer, if it use still CPU when it locked, you can wait until it is finished. This can need long time, but it will be finished sometimes.

In 07/2022 i updated my Graphic driver and now i have no crashes anymore.
i dont believe that the code is so bad. Sometimes is Windows bad.

How can I run, Rhino 5...Blender...Alibre atom...Moi3D v3 v4 v5...TurboCAD deluxe...Wings 3d...Rocket 3f...ZW3D 2022 no save...123D design...Mach 3...CamBAM...Simplify 3d...Superslicer...YAT terminal loader...And at least 10 painting programs. And at least 10 more cad type programs. I have never had any of these problems that I constantly have to deal with using ViaCAD. I bought ViaCAD to get that text wrap function. That tool works terrible. That mesh symmetry tool is a joke. I have read so many hours of these forum pages going back 5 years. Many of these same problems were noted by many users. Go into that mesh symmetry tool and you will instantly see some bad code. I understand code and scripts just enough to know when something can't close an open file. Something is wrong. The directory gets lost. If any digits, commas, quotes are off even the slightest bit. It will hang up. I have been learning so much about this using MOI3D. You load any of those scripts with one out of place letter or command. It will not work. So it seems like that is similar to what I see in ViaCAD when it can't close a file with out crashing. But that graphics driver could be causing this. Gonna see what I can find.

It's not graphics. I've ran this thing on my laptop (Nvidia graphics) and intel no difference between the two. I've ran it on my server which is dual CPU, 48gb ram and twin Nvidia 8gb Tesla cards. Set up for the correct thing, no difference.

I run other programs on my server and it uses everything on there and is so much faster and smoother. I tend to use it for handling massive data sets and so on. It doesn't change opening a massive sharkcad file or moving it around still jittery

I read someone on here said it's single core or something?

Shark FX 9 1162 was crashing always while exit. This issue was fixed with a new graphic driver. This is reproducible. Since i have the new driver 1162 crashed no time also not because of other reasons. I have a AMD Vega 56 Graphic Card. And a AMD Ryzen.

Build 1582 is maybe not the best..... Version 11 and 12 are maybe not stable enough.
