After reporting the specific instance of placing a
dimension causing prodesktop to crash, ptc replied
(couple of weeks later) that it *is* a software
problem, and they're fixing it. I was just
evaluating the free version going thru the
examples in the help menu. It pays to report
bugs after properly eliminating any other
cause.
