APPCRASH EAGLE 6.4 on WIN 7 64

terje

Dear the support team at Cadsoft!

I have just purchased and installed Eagle pro shematic and layout package on to my brand new win 7 64 computer.

 

I'm now trying to design some new components with the library editor but every 3 to 10 minutes the application crashes and the work is lost.

To me it appears that the crash happens randomly. It can happen when I'm resizing the window, moving a element, copy a element, changing the grid. pushing the undo button  etc. etc.

For now the Eagle is useless as this happens too frequently.

 

The eagle program is installed under C:\eagle

The version is 6.4.0.

 

What did I do wrong?

 

Is this a known issue?

 

 

 

Windows crash report:

  • I am having the same problems using 6.4.0 under Windows 7 64 bit.

     

    First I could get the app to crash while editing text properties in the schematic editor but now I have just lost a lot of work in the library editor when editing the properties of a plated through hole drill size when modifying an existing part.

     

    When I booted Eagle 6.4.0 back up it had lost the working directory I use as well as where my libraries are stored and reverted back to defaults.

     

    My projects and library files are saved on a network drive and have been since I first started using Eagle at version 6.0 so its not that - I have reverted back to 6.3 so I can continue working on an urgent project.

    TO ALL:

         The problem is with all 32bit programs running within the 64bit Windows. Change from 64 to 32 and probelm solved. From the day Windows XP was avalilable in 32bit and 64bit mode, it has been a problem. And it has not been solved.

    I hope your problem really does go away in the Win64 if you run in 32-bit mode, but I would be very careful and not count on it.  My computer is a 32-bit machine and it is having crashing issues with version 6.4 too.  Version 6.3 is still working fine.

    Considering the number of applications out there (Photoshop, Sony Vegas Pro

    etc.) that are going to 64 bit only, having to switch back to 32 bit is

    hardly a "handy" solution these days (although I do dual boot into XP Pro

    32 if I want).  My wife won't let me have a separate computer for each

    application though ...

    This is NOT an x64 vs x86 64-bit/32-bit issue. The app has worked reliably in 6.3.0 on x64 so I strongly feel it's something that has changed in 6.4.0 that is causing the instability.

     

    I too have moved my projects and libraries to a different location. It is on a different logical partition on the same physical hard drive - it's a laptop so it's not network connected.

     

    One of the real issues here that Cadsoft should be taking into account here is that the "user data" store should not default to be inside the program files directory. That's the reason people change these locations - and that's why they should make that a part of the design.

    Hi Brett and others,

     

    Let's try to troubleshoot this. Reply with a detailed and exact

    description of what you do to create the crash. We have a Windows 7

    laptop here in the office with EAGLE installed on which I could try to

    recreate the issue. If I can recreate it, then I will pass it on to our

    developers and this will be fixed for the next update.

     

    Be as detailed and specific as you can mention any relative conditions

    in a step by step manner.

     

    Thanks everyone and we'll get this solved soon.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia
