I am having this problem today using Civil 3D 2011 on a Win7 64 bit machine and closing the properties box doesn't help. Neither does PURGE/AUDIT or RECOVER. I have several solid hatch objects and no matter which one I grab it hangs the software. Anyone have any other good tips? Punt? Microstation? Jim Beam?

Does it actually crash, or just hang up not responding? If the latter, how long have you waited for it to "come to"?
Still doing it today. Sigh. I gave it about 20 minutes this last time and finally killed the program to start over on unsaved work. This is the second time I have had to do this in the last half hour. I am so used to grabbing things to change their properties, been doing it for years, that I can't stop myself until it is too late.
assuming your software is up to date with service packs... you can also try using the -purge command to clean up the drawing a bit more (zero length geometry, empty text events, regapps....)
I had problems using associated hatching on profiles grades. Using C3d entiities as a hatch boundary can really confuse Autocad.
TURNS OUT i HAD A CORRUPTED PROFILE. demin caps. There were a few other things, like AUDIT taking an extraordinarily long time to finish. I made a new profile and that solved the hatch thing. Thanks for the input.

i had this problem before, simply make your hatch scale larger like a 100 or select a hatch types that is not so busy like ansi32. once you adjust the scale/type, the hatch will quickly load and not crash your file. hope this helps
