Viewports not updating then crashing

in BricsCAD Mechanical


I got this error then bricsCAD unexpectedly shut down, it does it everytime I try to update a view. Takes about 30 minutes to update a view and crashes everytime. Anyone else running into issues like this?

    What happens when you audit the drawing, does this command bring up any errors?

    Looks familiar. I've had such bad issues with viewbase in BCAD Mech (freezes, hangs, disassociation, disassociating balloons...) that I've switched to ordinary vports with the following settings:
    - DISPSILH to 1
    - INTERSECTIONDISPLAY to 1
    - HIDEPRECISION to 1

    All MTFLAGS on

    Then set your viewport to shade plot = legacy hidden and then it only does the 3D to 2D vector conversion when you plot to PDF, and when it does it's multi-threaded. Seems to be far more robust and you can control layer appearances.
