I set up a MSP sheet with an xref Xclipped as a detail. If I move the xref in the working window and then go back to the sheet, the xref has moved, but not the Xclip boundry. So it is not clipping what I want anymore. When I look in the working window the xref is still moved and clipped as I want it, but going back to the MSP sheet the xref is not aligned properly with the Xclip. Then after trying to fix it the file usually crashes.

In a new file I drew three rectangles. Xrefed them into a second file and did an Xclip to show one end. Placed the clip on a MSP sheet. Went back to the xref and moved it a few feet. Went back to the MSP sheet and the three rectangles hafe moved, but not the Xclip boundry.

Someone else must have seen this by now. Maybe?

Using DataCAD version 15.03.02.02 (SE)

Hi Jim,

It would be nice to have clip cube was associated with the XRef it is clipping. And if MSP details could be associated with their position on the MSP sheet, you could move the entities (back in the drawing) and yet they would stay put on the MSP sheet! :)

I just saved out the two files I made with the three rectangles as version 13. The xclip and the xref move together in a MSP sheet detail. I thought that I had done that before. So something is wrong in version 15 that I am using.
