Hi

Working away on 3D model. While zooming in a 'free ......??' error message came up when I tried to execute any further commands. CU then froze and had to shut down losing a number of hours work . I had been saving regularly but when I go to open the file it just says " This file is damaged! Cannot read into application."

Just need to know if there is a way to recover it or do I need to begin again.

Many thanks,

If its "free store overflow..." that means you ran out of memory (RAM plus swap space)

Can the file be recovered? I have 2GB of RAM, how can I prevent this from happening again?

Many thanks
