Not exactly a "Manufacturing Output" issue but when I go to view my pcb design in glorious 3D and change Settings=>Layers, unchecking any item (unchecking top side components to see the silk screen, or vias/pads underneath a component for example) causing the dreaded Windows hour glass to appear. The 3D view is updated (once) but then the PC freezes and XP Pro Task Manager reports EPC as "Not Running". The only way out is for EPC to abort (without giving the chance to save your work !). Very annoying! Anybody else suffering this problem?

Tried this and although I cannot replicate the "crash" problem I did come up against and issue where once a layer had been enabled/disabled, the view shows ok, but when you try to move it around it simply dissapears !!.

Utility certainly seems to need investigation.
