Most of crashes in Carlson2015+IntellICAD8.0 x64 are related to these two reasons:
- Properties Pane component
- Old NVidia Quadro video driver
Both could have similar symptoms (frequent crashes up to more than once in an hour with no clue to any particular
operation).
=== Properties pane crash ===
Solution:
1. Install latest possible build of Carlson2015+IntellICAD8.0 (at least 15-02-18).
Latest patches could be downloaded from here:
(32-bit patch)
http://files.carlsonsw.com/mirror/patches/carlson2015/Carlson2015Update_icad8_install.exe
(64-bit patch)
http://files.carlsonsw.com/mirror/patches/carlson2015/Carlson2015Update_icad8_x64_install.exe
2. Launch Carlson2015+IntelliCAD, copy-paste following command to the command line (including braces) and hit Enter:
(setvar "ENTPROPAPP" "proppalette.irx")
3. Restart Carlson+IntelliCAD
You should note that Properties pane look a bit different now (more AutoCAD-like).
=== NVidia driver crash ===
If user has NVidia Quadro video card - it makes sense to check his video driver and update to latest one.
To check video card and video driver - do following:
1) In Windows, open Control Panel -> Device Manager
2) Expand Display adapters section
3) If you see there NVidia Quadro - right-click on it and choose Properties
4) Click on Driver tab, and check Driver Date
If you see that driver is more than year old - it makes sense to check for updates:

Select corresponding Series, Product and Opertaing system.
Download Type - Quadro ODE Graphics Driver.
->Search, ->Download.
