To all, We are an Arch/Eng firm utilizing 3DS, and have received an error msg, which we are not familiar with. The error occurs while moving selected vertices in the shaper. The system appears to lock-up, however, I can use the F keys to switch modules. The cursor disappears when the system "hangs", when it reappears, moving the mouse will cause it to again disappear. When quitting 3DS, this error msg appears when exiting to DOS – Mfree error — validity check failure! prt1 = 2e15ac. prt2 = 2e5fe8, *prt1 = 4a40, *prt2 = BFD88000 The screen then is paused, hit return and the the following is displayed Freeing shp2d C:> The same error will occur repeatedly (at least 3 times) in this PRj file, however, in other PRJ, there is no problem. No other problems have been experienced, and no system changes in the last 8 mos. Virus scans have turned up clean. I can provide more info if necessary, and will try the PRJ file on another machine soon. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Marty

Marty: I've never even heard of that error message, must be pretty obscure! :^) But I think you're right, it's a glitch in the file somewhere. Try this: Load the project, go into each module, and save the info separately (not as a project). Close 3DS (to make sure you have a clean start) and load each module by itself to see where the glitch is. If it still appears, save out that module as a DXF and try to bring it back in (with a clean load of 3DS). Let me know how it goes! Greg Pyros
