    Impression randomly crashing when using raster multiblocks from style library

    As the title says really, i'm setting up an Impression style file to be used on a number of projects and i'm wanting to use some raster images for tree blocks. I've set these up in photoshop with a slight transparency and drop shadow (as I can't find a way to apply these to a solid raster in Impression) and then making them into multiblocks to be used to replace regular autocad blocks.

     

    The blocks work ok but when using the block pallete from the style library seems to cause the program to crash... totally randomly (it wasn't doing this before). Sometimes the program crashes as soon as I load the blocks from the library, other times I can apply all blocks to the drawing and have it looking the way I want and then bang... it crashes. There seems to be no particular trigger that causes it to crash.

     

    There is no error message, I just get the Autodesk program has stopped working window with option to send error report, which I must have done 50 times already.


    Has anyone experienced anything similar and know of a possible cause or solution. I'm assuming it's the raster images that are causing it, i've tried both .tif and .png but no luck

     

    Thanks
