_Dot command not launching

Serengeti (Rhino WIP)
1

Good morning,

I am experiencing an issue with Rhino 9: the _Dot command is not working (it doesn’t launch at all).

Additionally, while I can insert numbered annotation dots, the software crashes whenever I try to edit the text.

Is anyone else facing this problem? Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this?"

Hi Silvio -

Does the command line then say that the command is unknown?

Does the Rhino crash reporter pop up when Rhino crashes? If so, please always send in that report.

As a first step, I would try a Repair of the Rhino installation from the Windows Control Panel.
-wim

I tried the repair via the Windows Control Panel, but the issue persists. I’ve submitted the crash report and I’m also pasting it below

Hi Silvio -

Thanks. I’ve asked the devs to take a look.

Back to the Dot command. Is there any feedback on the command line?

The command repeats itself, but the dialog box for entering data (size and text) doesn’t open; it acts as if it’s unresponsive.

If I try to edit an existing ‘dot,’ the program hangs.

Furthermore, if I attempt to copy and paste an _dot from RH8 to RH9, RH9 crashes immediately.

Hi Silvio -

How are you editing the text in such annotation? From the properties panel or from the dialog that opens when you double-click an annotation?
Could you post a file with crashing dots and annotations?

Hi @MAVERDESIGN,

The Dot command in part of the Commands plug-in.

Make sure this plug-in is enabled and loaded.

I gather that it’s enabled.

Hi, the dialog box doesn’t pop up at all. As soon as I click, it freezes.
I hope this video helps!

Hi @dale and @wim

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled version 9.0.26041.13355, but the problem persists. How can I fix this? Also, is this a known issue or is it just me?"
