Chris... Basically, that is the error I was receiving. The save command
wouldn't give me that message even until I hit the escape key. As far as I
can tell, I did not have any commands running. I have 5 surfaces in this
drawing and it was the only drawing open.
Drawing activity to this point:
1. Import surface from Land Desktop project.
2. Computed 3 set of volumes (4 surfaces involved, 4 of them compared to a
"base" surface)
After the 3rd set of volume calculations is when the problem occurred and
the symptoms of the first e-mail were noticed.
Propspecor Open. Volume workspace open. Drawing units are in meters.
If you would like me to upload the drawing to customer files I can.
