    Catia keeps locking up and thinking about something for about a minute quite often. Then it comes back to life and works fine. Has anyone experienced this? Is it trying to page something then timing out?

They explained to me that Domex was a better alternative to A514 and they could get it to me for around .4 per pound cut...
