MY OLD VERSION OF QCAD PROFESSIONAL STARTED CRASHING ON FILE SAVE
I HAVE PURCHASED AND DOWNLOADED A NEW VERSION OF QCAP PRO AND INSTALLED IT AND STILL CRASHES ON FILE SAVE OR SAVE AS.
64 BIT SYSTEM ON MSI INSTALL
HAVE BEEN USING THE SYSTEM FOR 4 YEARS NOW WITH NO ISSUES
PLEASE ADVISE OF ANYTHING I CAN DO
I HAVE ATTACHED SOME SCREEN SHOTS OF WHAT HAPPENS AND THE FILES TESTED ON

Re: QCAD CRASHES ON FILE SAVE
Hi, and welcome to the QCAD forum.
More a topic for the QCAD Troubleshooting and Problems forum.
All in upper case is considered as shouting online.
Your drawings and files look sane.
The 'Save As' dialog shows us that you are saving to the 'Windows' folder on drive C:
Isn't that a folder inside the protected area guarded by the Windows UAC?
You will need Admin rights to write there.
It is already a better idea to store user data files in newly created user folders.
Not advisable but you could attempt to start QCAD with Admin rights.
Regards,
CVH
