I downloaded the .stp file for the supershifter from Andymark, and I opened it with Pro/E, which automatically converted it to a .asm. I needed to modify it slightly for my application, but every time I try (at least 6 or 7 times), the program crashes when I try to modify the second bolt I need to move. I’ve tried rebooting and redownloading the file, but it always crashes. I’ve experienced Pro/E crashing before, but not this often and consistently with one piece. Is there anything I can do to prevent this, or am I pretty much stuck with Pro/E crashing? I’m pretty frustrated about this.
I did a bit more experimenting with the program and it seems to crash whenever I try to modify a large .stp file (I tried this with a different .stp as well with the same result). I was able to modify the placement of one part, but upon trying to modify a second part, it crashes when I middle click to rotate the file. I am able to do analysis such as measuring dimensions on .stp files with no problems.
I tried it on two different computers and both had the same problem, so its not just my computer.
