When changing net spacings in technology file after performing a 'design check' then 'clear pour' program crashes with 'unrecoverable error'.
File is not damaged and I am able to reload and carry on from last save. I always save before changing anything significant.
This program is repeatable.
I can prevent it by closing and re-opening Easy-PC after the 'clear pour' in the sequence above. |

I have tried your suggestion and 'Run as administrator'.
Problem still occurs.
When I have created a layout with default spacings for all nets (ie nets dialogue spacing is zero for each net) and fixed things so that I have no design errors, I then add extra spacings on the nets that will be used for 'copper pour' and a few others.
It is when I do that or set them back to zero for modifications that I get the error.
This occurs on almost every layout and has only occured recently (possibly since 14.0.1 or 14.0.0).

If you're using Vista or Windows 7 it's worth right clicking on the Easy-PC icon, selecting 'Run as Administrator', then going through the sequence that normally causes a crash. If it doesn't, it's quite likely that the O/S was blocking some registry access.
If it works once, it should then carry on working even when not in admin mode. |

This appears to happen on a number of files.
As I have about 20 layouts to do in a week I am using the workaround mentioned above to get the layouts to production.
When things settle down a bit I will pick a file, see if it misbehaves and send it to you if it does. |

I would suggest that - if you can - you email the PCB file to support and ask them to take a look. If the crash is that repeatable then it seems quite likely that is something invalid in the design data that is causing it.
