Freecad crash when switching workbench

[Johnny Geling]

Hello all,

Freecad version:
OS: Windows 7
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.13509 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-17
Hash: 0258808ccb6ba3bd5ea9312f79cd023f1a8671b7
Python version: 2.7.14
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.2.0
Locale: Dutch/Belgium (nl_BE)

Issue:
I have a file made during with regular updated 0.17 development versions of freedcad.
Since the 0.17 release freecad crashes when I switch workbench for instance from arch to techdraw. Or from techdraw to drawing dimensions. And also from drawing to drawing dimension. Other switching I have not tried.

I removed the local MOD and Macro files out of the way. Behavior is the same.

I tried the 0.18 development version and has the same behavior.

What can I do to help debuging this issue.

Even if it doesn't help here: you should use version 0.17.13515.

Please note that I think you wouldn't need to check "add to python path" option to solve this issue.

I have also on my work PC some trouble with same behaviour. Only in my case switching to Part or Part Design.
But till know in my case it is possible that it is partly related that i run other CAD software at the same time with not a real big amount of memory...

Also Windows 7 and around same version number...

Following the suggestions in the link from easyw-fc I'm able to solve the issue and re-create the issue.

I moved my user.cfg and system.cfg from the AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD folder.
With a new config files freecad doesn't crash. Even with the latest released 0.17 version.
Putting the old config files back and freecad crashes switching the workbench.

Is there an easy way to compare the config files and find the root cause?

Apparently I'm to quickly with my conclusion. After re-creating the issue with the old config files, freecad also crashes with new, fresh config files.

Can you start freecad from a cmd prompt

Code: Select all

freecad -l

There will be a log file created in %appdata%/freecad
