Upgrade to X6 about 10 days ago and at least initially, I was saving in both X5 and X6 formats because I've learned that you can't always trust a new version of Draw. Love the application but, as all long-time users know, new releases have a history of instability.
After a few days of fairly heavy use, it seemed like I was not going to have the usual problems and I stopped saving my work in X5 format. Probably a mistake because two days ago, it started crashing regularly on just about any document I've created with X6 and the crashes have become more frequent yesterday and today.
For the record, Win7 Pro 64-bit, 8gb RAM, Core 2, dual nVidia 8600GT cards with current WHQL driver, and a 250gb SSD boot drive. Data drive is a 750gb spindle with 450gb free.
When it crashes, the problem details are as listed below. I've tried resetting the workspace <F8> and, have done a repair from the installation routine, no avail. All my current documents are mostly curves, text, some Lens and some Extrudes. If anyone can shed some light, I'd appreciate it but I think for the time being, I'm going to save all my X6 files back to X5 and stick with the previous version.
TIA,

Just a thought... .NET just had patch updates from MS in the past couple of days. Could it be related (since you say it just started suddenly, and recently)?
I haven't had to use Draw since, but I've heard more than one time of .Net updates causing folks troubles.
Andrew: Thanks for the thought but I didn't do the 13 file Windows update with the dot NET files in it until this morning..long after I'd been having crashes with X6.
