Hi,
I'm new to CS, but I had the impression that it's the younger sibling of Altium (with which I'm familiar), offering fewer functionalities at a lower price point. Despite this, it's still quite usable. However, when using it at work, the program frequently crashes, approximately once per hour. I'm uncertain if this is an isolated issue or if others are experiencing similar problems. For comparison, I run KiCad on the same machine without encountering any issues, indicating that the machine has sufficient graphical computing power.
Here are the main issues I've encountered:
- The program consistently crashes when creating a polygon pour, either immediately after creating the mesh or when switching to the 3D view. During this time, the "Messaging: step_temp.setp" command appears approximately three times per second until the crash occurs.
- The program crashes upon closing. It doesn't shut down properly; after displaying the typical message asking whether to save changes, it crashes. I typically close the program using the task manager because there are no other viable options.
- The program crashes when importing an external project. Even when following the correct steps, including exporting in the 5.0 bin format, sometimes, upon opening the file, it crashes.
Given these issues, I'm curious if others have experienced similar problems and if anyone has found solutions. In the long term, a resolution is crucial because these bugs render the program unusable. With other viable alternatives available, it's only a matter of time before CS is surpassed by more stable options.
Thanks for any assistance.
