Separately (I think) from my other issues, I've been having Datacad files spontaneously close. I wasn't sure of any particular instance until a specific one just now. I was moving some hatches to another layer. Each time, after I move the third hatch (and I've tried different ones), the file closes unexpectedly. If I can reopen it all without closing and restarting Datacad, I get this application error. How can I look up what it is?

I don't think this is the only cause of the unexpected closings, and I'm not sure if it is only with the particular file I've been working on, but it was the one I could reproduce just now.

David, it might help to run the Repair tool on the drawing? Before you open a file, there is Repair on the left menu, and you then select the file, and toggle on the additional things you want to check - and this might solve it?

Wow!! How long has THAT been there?

Repair was NEW in DataCAD 18.02.00.
