Copy/Paste Text in 3D Problems
I keep having this problem over and over again. I can restart the computer and it will go away for a while, but always returns eventually. In an elevation view, I attempt to copy/paste text and get the attached series of error messages. Anyone else run into this? Did a search but couldn't find anything.

If I see that error message, my computer usually crashes shortly after.

Bryce:
You shouldn't be getting those error messages in a true 2D elevation camera view. If that is the tool you are using, I would call Tech Support.
If you took a 3D Orthographic Full Overview > View Direction > Front, Back, Left, Right, etc. then Chief doesn't allow placement of Text in/on those views because the Text tool isn't even available. Are you trying to bring text in/onto one of these views from some other open plan? "IF" that's the case, then that would explain the error messages.
I wouldn't blow too many brain cells trying to figure this one out if you are indeed working in a 2D elevation camera view ... I would recommend you call CA immediately ... maybe you've stumbled on a glitch in the program that they should know about. Please let us know what you find out.Curt Johnson

I get the first error message sometimes in plan view... Have not investigated why it might have occurred. Does not shut down program.

It is definitely only in a 2D elevation or section camera view, not a vector overview. And, I am only trying to copy/paste text only from and to that same view. Other times it has been trying to copy/paste from one elevation or section to another (a big time saver sometimes),but not this particular time. Pretty sure I sent this into tech support before, and they were saying it was a windows thing and/or they couldn't find anything file specific in the file I sent them. But this time around I think the 2nd warning is Chief specific and not Windows specific. I'll wait till it happens again and send it in.
Thanks for the input.
