Creo 4 crashes when opening a part
Creo 4 crashes when opening a part
(OP)
Hi,
I am getting a little frustrated with how Creo 4 behaves right now, especially after the below issue, so I hope one of you has a solution.
Now I have a part that I saved last week after adding a fillet feature that had many lines/fillets in it and Creo gave me a traceback error and crashed.
The part did save though and when opening, Creo did a forced regen and crashed again, likely because of the same reason - the big fillet feature.
I deleted the last save, before the feature existed, could open it again, and started over again from there.
Today I added a new fillet feature.
This time I could save without problems after adding the features and I continued working for 2 hours after this feature and kept saving without issues.
After adding a simple extrude Creo suddenly decided to crash anyway and now I can't open it again because Creo keeps crashing.
It is really frustrating as I don't want to redo everything I have done just because Creo is badly built/behaving and because it is a lot of work to redo as well.
I added a zip file with the traceback and error output files when trying to open the part as well as the forced regen message Creo is giving in the message box.
So, what I want to know/try is:
1. Is there a way to stop Creo from force regenerating when opening a part so I can first suppress the feature that I know is causing the issue?
2. I requested a Creo 7 trial to see if the issue is solved in a newer version.
Any tips are welcome.

Second question is what is your build of Creo 4? For commercial, the latest is M130.
Since the data structure of Creo is hierarchical, it has to rebuild the file every time it is opened.
You can do somethings, like saving a snapshot, but that adds overhead.

Can you upload the file itself?

In the end it happened again today and the Round feature was not even there this time.
Turns out there were 2 extrudes that used to remove material but after part updates didn't touch anything anymore.
Somehow this was enough for Creo to not understand the part and force regenerating due to invalid geometry.
Anyway by stepping through the tree and cleaning up every warning, the part is opening much faster and without errors.
I find it weird that such a simple thing lets Creo crash, but I guess it is what it is.
