I have large Protel99 .ddb files containing 50 or more schematics which I want to import into CS. After importing a bunch of files, CS crashes displaying "Information - please wait" and then something like "Access violation at address 233AC891 in module 'AdvSch.dll'. Read of address 00000004 at 233AC891. Exception Occurred In ImportFiles" -> Send Report. The addresses vary after every restart of CS. When I retry the import, it imports one more file before it crashes. Sometimes I am able to import all files after restarting CS or reopening the project and so on. Does anyone (including you, people of Altium) have a solution for this?

Circuitstudio crashes importing large Protel databases

I have large Protel99 .ddb files containing 50 or more schematics which I want to import into CS.

After importing a bunch of files, CS crashes displaying "Information - please wait" and then something like

"Access violation at address 233AC891 in module 'AdvSch.dll'. Read of address 00000004 at 233AC891.
Exception Occurred In ImportFiles" -> Send Report. The addresses vary after every restart of CS.

When I retry the import, it imports one more file before it crashes. Sometimes I am able to import all files after restarting CS or reopening the project and so on.

Does anyone (including you, people of Altium) have a solution for this?
