Hi Barbara, Someone hopefully will chime in, but you may want to tell us what operating system you're using and if any other programs are open as well as any other technical details you can think of. The message appears when you click on the 3D box?

Everytime I want to see the design that I am digitizing in 3D, I get a box with the error message: an invalid argument was encountered. You can't get rid of the box. The darn thing freezes. You have to shut down and restart. Of course it is after hours at Melco....and the weekend is here when I try to get as much digitizing done as possilbe. Any help would be appreciated.
