    Elevation Cameras

    Is it just me, or the elevation cameras only good for like 3 or 4 activations? After a few times making changes, opening an elevation camera (in order to refresh the layout view) and then closing it again and letting it update it gets stuck at "panel 13 of 16" or something like that.

    Then CA basically gets locked up...hitting escape will refresh a portion of the elevation on the layout but not the whole thing. Sometimes i have to re-create my cameras and even then it doesnt always work...

    It doesnt happen with new drawings, just existing ones that i've made some changes to, usually multiple times.

    It might be just you...or more likey, your hardware.

    I have not seen this problem on my end.

    It is not "you" but rather your PC, it's operating system, your other software, your internet and PC maintenance habits at work.

    Never mind it is you in the end

    Isn't it?

    The only time I have experienced such behavior in the past was before I developed good PC maintenance/internet habits and made sure my PC and software were lean, mean and clean at all times.

    Do you have a favorite molding profile, cad block, symbol, texture, yada yada that the problem plans have in common?

    Could be something you are adding in those changes that is the root of the problem. Try purging the unused cad blocks to reduce the file size, and try to determine what those plans may have in common that is making trouble for you.
