This crashing is driving me nuts!!!  has anyone had much experience with Adobe Illustrator- does that crash as well sometimes?

Im not that skilled with drawing software but I used to use Serif draw plus for years and never had a problem with it crashing.

I like useing this AD software but I cant keep losing drawings and going to have to switch to some other software if I cant solve

 

Any help to stop it please!!

Hi Sean,

thanks for your reply, i have posted again on the forum before I saw this reply.

I am saving more regularly through pain learning due to losing drawings but is difficult to remember all time when concentrating on technical design aspects. And I used serif drawplus for years and it never crashed on me so didnt need to save every few minutes in case the software crashed.

I have attached a basic drawing example of the system of drawing my current project needs which is a lot of small straight line, modular with a lot of nodes .

I will take your advice on keep transform and styles panels open instead of layers and hopefully this could be the cause of the crashing - I will try out.

I have to have the nodes quite close to each other for the style of drawing but I think I have found that if I get to a certain amout of nodes in a line and then deselect and start a fresh line then this seems to stop the snapping timed out function occurring.

Regards,  John
