Intermittent Crashes when Moving Mated Objects (2025 SP0 - Framework 16)
Solidworks crashes without the traditional crash handler. No messages stored. Moving models / assemblies pass through an "invisible" plane where the object is no longer visible behind a plane. (This is without the cutaway view enabled). Crashes more frequent when moving objects.
Report happened on a Framework 16 w/ RX7700 graphics.
Fix:
Installed Latest Framework Drivers Framework Laptop 16 BIOS and Driver Releases
Disabled Auto Update in the AMD panel.
