Hi All,

Every time i try to paint a material onto a wall the box just freezes. I can select material painter, the drop down appears then when I try to scroll to the desired material the program hangs.

I am currently in trial mode with the 2011 version anyone else experienced this?

Many thanks

Oh dear!

This is becoming a real pain in the proverbial!

Anyone shed any light or had similar problem

*FIXED*

Basically having audited and purged everything from my drawing to no avail I started to look at the materials in the material library. There were several non english descriptions for materials that I did not recognise so I deleted them, saved and re-tried the material painter and hey presto it worked.

I can only assume the 'incompatible' materials came from object downloads done previously.
