AutoCAD Based 3D Modeling (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Button: Show Model Errors Error Type: Crash

Description:

When raising to 3D, AutoCAD crashes with no error, no warning, it just closes.

You can test this by closing all open drawings then starting a new drawing using the Hydratec template, "Hydracad Imperial Default".

Draw one pipe 10' long (LN command). 

Place a length & 2" diameter on it (SZP command)

Place a 10' AFF elevation mark on it (AFF command)

Start the process of raising to 3D (S3D command).  It will then crash out without warning around step 2 (something about sprinkler heads).

Solutions:

Cause:

Synology Drive Client software is running in the background and blocking/locking some file/files needed to raise to 3D, then causing AutoCAD to crash.  At this time it's unknown which files are being blocked/locked.

Solution:

Check the Windows Task Manager for a file called cloud-drive-daemon.exe and End Task it.

 

 

Try the S3D process again.

 

We're not famiilar with this synching application so you'll have to figure a way to turn it off or have it ignore the HES folder or only have it backup/synchronize calc or stocklist files only.
