Recently i have had a weird issue creating spotlights and pointlights, whenever i open a project i'm working on sometimes the first time i create a light, by using either the create menu or copying a light iclone either takes a lot of time to create it (iclone becomes unresponsive) or it just crashes. Next time i open the project it works like a charm. Anyone else seeing this?

Ditto.
Yesterday, I had a project crash no less than five times, and almost every time it had to do with adding, duplicating or moving a light or moving the camera.
Using a solid-state hard drive, 32 GB of RAM, and an nVidia Geforce 1070 with 8GB of vRAM.

Thanks Terry, i will make a feedback tracker entry.

Thank you for adding this in the Feedback Tracker. The iClone team will investigate.

Interesting.
I had opened a ticket as well but then for Adding IES to the lights.
And I had in the past  a crash with Adding lights too.
This is in 7.6.1 and 7.7 btw.

Got a link for getting / creating the log and dump files,  but the link doesn't exist.  So I am waiting for a new link from Molly RL     , unless someone else has the working link?

Thanks

As a work around, before adding or copying a new light, can you try to switch to the Auxiliary Light and then add or copy a light and see if it still crash ?

Forgot to ask,

how do you copy the lights?   I tried Spotlights, and I cannot copy those

Ctrl+click and drag  any axis of the gizmo and a copy will be made
