This is really starting to piss me off. I'm working on a lot of drawings, and one thing I need to do is add dimensions. Crazy, I know. The parts have draft on them, so sometimes I need to zoom way in on the part to get to the 'root' of the feature. So far so good, right? Wrong. Sometimes when I zoom in, Pro/E locks up. I mean, LOCKS UP. It basically crashes my machine. CNTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work, the taskbar and everything else on the screen is dead, it is really hosed. It can take fifteen minutes or longer to recover: the last time, just now, I had to hold down the power button to get the 'puter to shut down. This was after Pro/E closed out, after I tried several times to do a normal soft shutdown.
Whatever this problem is, it appears to be isolated to the Drawing Module, and limited to zooming in close on a part. The drawing is a multi-sheet, single part drawing. The drawing itself doesn't matter: the same thing has happened on other drawings.
Running WF4 on Windows 7. This is causing a real problem in productivity: I'm forced to pan, drag and zoom on drawings very slowly, to try and prevent this crap from happening.
I'm starting to think I'd be better off using a different software package: PTC clearly does not care about drawings, and since I'm forced to make them, maybe I should use a tool that actually works.
