This actually happened just minutes ago. I'm a civil engineer at a construction company, and I'm still pretty green. This is my first civil engineering job and my first time working with Civil 3D. I've used AutoCAD for years, but never Civil 3D. I'm learning a lot and getting pretty good at it...or so I thought.
I was doing grading for a 20-acre construction site. I was essentially trying to design a pond. Seems simple enough. I was almost done with the grading when I noticed that one of my feature lines was in the wrong site. No big deal, Civil 3D has the option to move feature lines to a new site. So I did that.
From here you'll have to excuse my lack of programming knowledge. This is speculation, but I think I created a memory leak by creating circular logic within the CAD drawing. Opening the file would cause my computer to use more and more RAM until it hit 100% and crashed Windows. I tried it a second time to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and it crashed again. I had to delete this monster I had created. 2 days of work, gone. But now I know better.
TL;DR created a memory leak in a CAD file and had to delete 2 days worth of work.
