2.6.2 cannot export DWG - crashes every time.

[Fixx]

As in title. Is there 2.6.0 still available anywhere? (I guess I can recover it from TM.. when I get to my another work site.)

EDIT: Seems this one document is too complex for DWG export. Simpler ones do export.  I guess I dig up old copy of Illustrator and export from there.

A few bugs appear to have been fixed for DWG export in 2.6.2 so it's surprising that a file that exported in 2.6.0 won't export in 2.6.2. Are you able to share the file and crash report?

You can download previous versions from here:

No crash report, I just select export > DWG and after a second AD just crashes quietly. (Seems that delay varies but end result is the same.)

If Serif can supply secure upload address I can upload the problem file. I do not wish to share publicly customer content, signed NDAs and like..

BTW, I ended using https://www.convertpdftoautocad.com/ for DWG, I guess it was good enough.

Hi @Fixx,

If you can upload the file here it will be private and I'll look into it and log it if I can reproduce the issue.

Thanks

Thank you, I uploaded "DWG-export-kills.afdesign"

Thanks for sending the file, i've reproduced the crash with your file.

From what I can see it's not a 2.6.2 regression, it was crashing for me exporting in 2.6.0, but definitely didn't get covered by a couple of DWG/DXF export crash fixes that went in for 2.6.2.

It's now logged with us, thanks again for the report!
