Nabble removed Mailing-list integration from the Forum.
This killed the Forum. This is now an ARCHIVE.
It is likely Nabble will shutdown in the future.

So basically the Forum is now out of date, we are looking into migrating the history.

OpenSCAD support is now provided by the Mailing List.
See the first pinned post here for instructions on subscribing to the mailing list.

New user reporting a simple bug

gibell

I just started using openSCAD and it is great!!  I have, however, experienced some problems with it crashing.  Here is a simple program that crashes upon compile on my Windows binary version on Windows NT:

scale(v=2,2,2) cube(size=10);

An obvious syntax error, but took me some time to track this down since it was in the middle of a much longer program ...

thanks for your bug report.
recent version of openscad don't crash on this.

(btw: this is not a syntax error. it just sets the 'v' parameter to '2' and
add two positional parameters '2' and '2'. older versions of openscad
crashed because they interpreted v=2 like v=[0,0,0]. recent version simply
ignore the invalid parameter and do not scale.)
