Valt Exception Failure

jmware

I have the 30 day trial...gone on the 13th.  I think I may have found a bug in the Valt program.

 

When working with it to get parts, it frequently throws an exception fault.  The exact fault is listed below:

 

  "Unhandled win32 exception occurred in DXP.exe [3740]"

 

I dug a bit further and got this:

 

  "Exception at 0x7721d193 in DXP.exe  0xC0000025"

 

It seems to be a jump to no place (0x771de8d4).

 

I was planning on buying CircuitStudio till I found this.  If there is a fix that I can test that would be great!

I will have to put on hold my purchase till this fix is in place.  I am looking forward to a patch, other than

this issue, I liked the product!

 

Has anyone else seen this issue occur??

    Yep, for me the vault is very flaky.  If I use the vault within a minute or two of having it open (and then closed) about 50% of the time CS will either crash with an exception like you've described, or will go into an endless loop of showing a dialog with progress bar.

     

    Personally I think the whole vault concept needs to become far more polished before I'd be willing to use it as anything more than a convenient place to copy parts out into my own library.

     

    My work around at the moment for the vault is:

    - Save everything you need saved (about 50% of the time it will crash and everything from the last save will be lost.)

    - using a sacrificial PCB project

    - Open vault, find the part you need, add it to the project

    - copy the schematic symbol into your own sch library

    - copy the footprint into your own library.

    - delete the sacrificial project

    - restart CS.

     

    Obviously this is a PITA, so I only bother where the time taken to do all this is significantly less than just making the components from the datasheet.
