Plugin interfering with DWG import (solved)

Edson · 5 May 2012, 12:06

Actually every one of my Macs in the office (3 in total) has the same problem of being unable to import dwg files in SU Pro. This has been the case for every version of SU8 pro that I have used, and in the office it makes no difference whether we are on Lion or Snow Leopard.

The import seems to work fine, the geometry seems to be imported, and the summary dialog pops up with the imported entities, but then SU crashes.

Works fine on my MacBook Pro at home with the same version of SU Pro 8.0.11751 though. This probably has more plugins than any of the other machines.

Pathcopy is not the culprit for me because it's on my home machine which works, and on my office machine, which doesn't.

Works fine on the PC under all situations.

my only guess is that in my case vector.flat_angle.rb conflicts with some other plugin. finding it is something much beyond my knowledge.

Does SU crash if vector.flat_angle.rb is the only .rb in the Plugins folder?

no. it looks as if it conflicts with some other plugin.

It seems to me that the only way a plugin could crash SU when using the native dwg import is by using observers. Can anyone think of any other way?
