New bug - space in user specified name part number

Hi Wayne, Okay, I can make it crash too. But I gotta know...why would you add the spaces in the first place?

Are you reporting this?

I turned it in.

The spaces were added probably a few years ago by someone else and this part was picked up & reused. The intention back then was to put " - -" in and the reason for the space was to move the dashes over a bit. Personally, I don't do it, but it never caused a problem in the past.

Update. It's not necessarily the action of moving the view, it's the rebuilding of the underlying part. If you do a CTRL-Q while in the drawing, it will crash. If you go to the part and do a CTRL-B, then it will crash when you go back to the drawing. Interestingly, if you double-click on the BOM, and then click back out, it still works. I would have thought that would have crashed it.

I have seen something very similar, but it has a different cause. I never use spaces in my file names, but I can still get a drawing to crash every time if I do the following:

Some bakground first, though. I design molds, so these are assembly drawings of mold designs. The assembly has 3 configurations-default is the total assembly, then there is a b-side and an a-side config. My mold drawings have a front view of the b-side config in upper left and a back view of the a-side config in the upper right. I then place a front view of the default config off the page, but aligned vertically with the b-side config. I cut sections through this and place those along the bottom of the sheet. (This looks just like the layout in mold base catalogs-it's a convenient convention.) The excel BOM is attached to the lower right config and goes right above the title block. After the section views get created, I hide the view of the default config. Once that view is hidden- if I then try to move any view, I crash every time. This was never a problem in prior releases.

Like Wayne, this has cost me significant time until I figured out what was causing it. I can move views around to place them on the sheet, but once I hide the parent view of my section views-any further movement of views crashes the system every time.
