I often add labels to plots in Probe for reports, etc. Often, however, after spending maybe 5 minutes carefully adding text, arrows, lines, etc., when I attempt to print (typically to a Adobe Acrobat) Probe crashes. This means I have to restart Proble, reload the date file, and carefully add all of the labels all over again. This a pain in the neck!
Is there a way to avoid the crashing when attempting to print? I'm using some flavor of Version 9 of PSpice.
I vaguely remember a crash like that. Were you doing any "cursor find peak" operations?
I believe it was fixed in v10.x
Write down every step right up to the crash and I'll try it here.
(How much RAM, CPU speed, etc.?)

Not necessarily, although I frequently do that.
If my employer ever gets us v10, I'll try it. I'm using 9.2.3.
It would be impossible to describe everything I do to the plots. But I can tell you that the problem typically doesn't happen on the first run of data. For example, if I plot some data, mark it up, and print it (typically to Adobe Acrobat) everything will be okay. But if I run a new set of data, and mark it up ... or a third set, THEN I will often have problems. I am suspicious that zooming in and out again contributes to the problem.
If you are willing to investigate, try to plot some data, do some zooming, add text, arrows, and lines. You might try freezing and unfreezing the cursor also. Those are the sorts of things that have gotten me into trouble.

I tried and tried to crash Probe but didn't succeed.
These PCR's were fixed in v10.x...

Maybe one of these was causing you trouble.
