When I try to include a Cross-section in this Drawing I get this Error Dialog.

Sorry folks. Stripped to much out of the FCStd in attempt to get it to uploadable size. Here is the full beast:

should you need it.

Just tried creating cross-section again and had no problem.
I have been having some strange behaviour from my PC but this morning it's behaving itself very well.
Bah! Computers! They'll never catch on! :roll:

Thanks for trying to help here.
