I seem to have had this problem before (past versions 8.05 and older), but anyway, as a file gets larger toward the end of a project (floorplans and elevations finished, site plan done, and I'm starting to draw details - sections - etc. I use clipit COPY with layersearch toggled ON to grab what I want to detail and drag it over into a 1/2" or larger scaled titleblock to then erase certain lines and add others to complete section details. At some point in the growth of these Cad files, the box I draw around the area does nothing. If I toggle OFF layersearch, it captures what I draw around, the message says "enter point to drag from", and I can move it over to the new title block. Of course, the only thing that gets clipped and copied are the lines that are on the current layer. That ain't good enough... Try the same move with layersearch toggled ON, and the message says "enter first corner of Clipit rectangle." Meaning, "yeah... we didn't get that...."
I've tried to copy the file and paste it into the same folder and open "joe's houseplan - copy" and it does the same thing in that file as well.
The file I'm working on at the moment has a little north of 45,000 entries. File size is 2.75MB.
If it makes any difference I have about 30,000 entries in hatched rubble in my EB layer (elevation brick)
Does this sound like a software (datacad) glitch, or am I asking too much of my HP PropBook 4720s with 8 Gigs of RAM, or is this a legit limit on what Datacad can do?
I've got a lot of notes and details to go. I don't need this kind of thing slowing me down. Any help would be appreciated.
