However, you can re- record (or text edit) the scripts and make it work.

I always had to set up the grids BEFORE I sent a board to a person using only the free viewer but I haven't really used the free viewer much since 16.x so I am just guessing... hope this helps, at least a little bit :-) Dharma KAW/USA Ltd. 39 Simon Street, #4 Nashua, NH 03060 603-886-8711 x212 603-881-8763 fax Confidentiality Notice: This email and any accompanying documents contain information that is confidential, privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

But, my scripts for changing the grid cause the Free Viewer to crash. Anyone know how to get grid setting scripts to work with the Free Viewer? TIA!
