Crash on Initialization While Updating Pads

ISSUE

"...

ASE crashes during the initialization process. More specifically, this is happening while the pads are being updated. I get the following message at the command prompt after just one alignment's pads attempt to update: 

​

Command:

Updating '<alignment name>' pads.; error: AutoCAD variable setting rejected: "clayer" "_ASE-Design-Pads-Ties" 

 ..."

​

CAUSE

This particular error occurs because the  "Pad Ties" layer has been frozen.

​

 

SOLUTION

To resolve this issue simply thaw the layer "_ASE-Design-Pads-Ties". Barring any additional problems, ASE should initialize successfully.
