    Iron cad file crashes in middle of cad designing process

    When using drives like Google Drive, there is a sync process they run. If that sync is happening when saving, then you can run into issues potentially. (Not only with IC but with others as well). We have a registry setting that can save a backup when saving to a network drive (or a drive connected to something like google drive).

    If saving files to network drive, the backup is controlled by SaveToNetWork_ForceBackupFile registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IronCAD\IRONCAD 20.0\InternalOptions

    If SaveToNetWork_ForceBackupFile = 0, no backup;

    If SaveToNetWork_ForceBackupFile = 1 (default), then we will do backup when save to network driver.  Before backup, we will search the backup folder if there is a corresponding previous backup file.  If there is a backup file there, delete the previous backup file first. Else then we will do a backup when save to the network drive. We will not delete previous backup file.

    There is no UI to change SaveToNetWork_ForceBackupFile, users have to manually open registry (regedit) and change it.

    Note:  When save to local, then no backup will happen.

    Sometimes we cannot identify whether a file is saved to network drive, for example, Google Drive and there is a map drive like g: to Google Drive. We cannot identify the file is saved to network drive.   So we provide a backdoor to let users explicitly specify g: is network drive by adding/changing the string value of SaveToNetWork_Drivers in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IronCAD\IRONCAD 20.0\InternalOptions, such as

    image.png

    In this case, if files are saved to g: drive, we will consider saving to network drive.

     

    Files are backup to %temp%\ic_dbg_BackupOnSaveToNetWork folder such as

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\ic_dbg_BackupOnSaveToNetWork

    In this folder, we map the backup file in the path structure similar to original folder structure:

    For  instance, we save to g:\abc\file1.ics, the back file will be

    %temp%\ic_dbg_BackupOnSaveToNetWork\REG_g_\ abc\file1.ics

    (replace g: by g_, add REG_ to represent regular letter drive)

    If we save to UNC path such as \\networkname\abc\file1__2018-06-12-15-16-54.ics. the back file will be

    %temp%\ic_dbg_BackupOnSaveToNetWork\UNC_\networkname\abc\file1__2018-06-12-15-16-54.ics

    (add UNC_ to represent UNC path) __2018-06-12-15-16-54.ics: date and time was added as well.

     

    So this may be an option to try to when you have the failed to save issue. This of course will not work on the crash of the application, but this is for the issues potentially saving to a network or google type drive as a network folder. 

     

    Hi Cary,

    Thanks for this. I'll keep this in mind. On my previous post I had problems similar but on OneDrive.

    Initially, I was able to fix it by creating a new user profile but degenerated over  time. I finally had my PC re-installed with the OS and no longer suffered my issues back then at my place of work. The symptoms I had: long file name ok for the first time and when editing the work it won't save network directory, backup directory only shows copy file address without having the .ics and .icd file on it. Even paint app disappears for doing screenshot.

    How much can I expect reducing LOAD & SAVE time of ICS with Nvme M.2 Raid0?

    Hi Kim,

    This was my frustration before but it less for now on the ics model. I moved my paging file away from the system drive to a larger drive with a lot of space so it can expand and shrink without squeezing available spaces in mix on C:\ system drive.

    My C drive is a NvMe, D drive is a sata SSD and E a 2GB 7200 hdd. I worked with 50-60 mb model files. It was an improvement when I placed projects on SSD. I was lucky enough to get a  pair of 32 GB(64GB) DDR4 3200 during a sale. I used to have 2x16GB(32GB) it was fine but the sale was to hard to resist. This made easy with working with 30+ icd drawing sheet. Saving drawings does save longer a bit.

    If I left the virtual memory/page file as system managed, it was really slow with bigger projects.

    Regards,

    Modifying Property List of Connect with D365

    in General Discussion

    Hi Cary,

    Yes we wish to connect it with. Either if I can put in all the necessary conventions in IronCAD to be transferred to D365 to cut any redundancy/re-entry at D365.

    We were using a Priority ERP and migrated to D365. Priority was disconnected with IronCAD and we manually cross reference the model and ERP BOM. If I can set and drive some model properties e.g serial numbers, quantity, descriptions, material length to sent to D365. We don't use PDM to bridge.

    I may need to rewrite some rules which no expert at, any reference will be appreciated.

    Regards

    Hi Kev,

    The company hasn't migrated to IC2023. This work pc on boots up to scanning and repairing. The IC2022 goes to a period of good to the degenerates. Only this pc in the engineering team one drive network often goes to this.

    Also to note the back up directory only contains CopyFileAddress and no back up model file. Goes to flag enter large assembly just editing a size box when it is not.

    Hi TJ,

    What I do is just change my thinking on the stock. With Out Bend, the stock is 400x300, with the Bend there is a difference of 12.5mm (6.25mm offset/per bend - varies on stock thickness used) so I set the stock to 387.5x287.5. I know this quite tedious and annoying, but if you common stocks used, I made notes on this offset per stock thickness. Though it is wishful to have mitre done with all sort of bend features, it made me think and plan ahead. Sort of manual to semi automated thinking.

    Hi RobH2,

    Very interesting subject. I don't mean to hijack hEinstein query but is there also away to deal with it on the BOM: length generated with 3 zeros, does precision displayed dialog will set this to?

    regards

    Hi Cary and Bertrand,

    Thanks for this. I wanted to reduce the file size. Initially my supervisor at work wants it shrink wrap but turns out removing the face plate or the fan hole even all is selected.  I used combined shapes but still experience a large files size on my end.  The results vary at the office machine, compared to my home pc. I usually set assembly with a Specified Mass and Treat as part or the actual A/C assembly.
