This page describes the process for creating a dump of your memory system while WireCAD is running or immediately after a crash.

- Crash: the application quits working without warning and Window reports that the application has quit unexpectedly. It is very unusual for WireCAD to crash. Please note that a crash is NOT a logical error in the code that causes the standard WireCAD exception handler to pop up (the unhappy face form). Crashes are catastrophic. They are unrecoverable and may corrupt data.

What is a dump file?
A dump file contains all of the memory on your machine relating to the program that is under scrutiny.
A full dump file can be quite large as it contains the values of all memory locations used by the application.
A mini dump file is often enough information for us to determine the offending code or hardware.
