Topic Title

I have a base building cross section drawing file that is 18768 k in size. Off that I have a roof detail sheet that incorporates 9 xref off that base sheet that is 864 k in size. I then have a plot sheet that has a plot sheet that incorporates the border drawing and roof detail sheet that opens up but will not plot a preview. The program just stops responding. I tried layering out the roof detail sheet but that did not help. Are there limits on the number of xref files that I can use?

There is no limit of xrefs that I know of. Have you tried repairing and/or purging your files. Might have a bad entity or layer.

I tried that. I had someone try the plot file on their computer and it took over 10 minutes for it to get to the plot preview. Is this normal if you have a number of xref in a file?
