design library features causing crash

design library features causing crash

(OP)
Any time i try to add a feature from the design library, SW crashes on me.  Other users in my company don't have this problem.  Any thoughts?  The toolbox works fine.

RE: design library features causing crash

Do you get an error message, or does SWx just die?
Have you tried using the copy settings wizard to get one of your coworker's settings onto your install to see if it's something to do with your settings?
If all else fails, capture an Rx video of the issue and send it to your VAR...

SW just closes without any messages.  I guess i'll send the RX zip file off to my VAR.  The weird part is that i recently copied my system options to my coworker's machine, and his works fine.  

Thanks,
Adam

RE: design library features causing crash

I've been having random crashes/lockups on my machine too, and believe it's crashing/locking up when using the design library as well. I'll be back with details if I have them.
