my work involves medium - huge dwg files with xrefs that need to be clipped.
I am now reviewing ProgeCad. When i open the drawings in ProgeCad which are originally AutoCad files, the xclipped views are all gone. they're all "xclipped off" and thus creating a very undesirable mess. Xclipping all of them again would be a huge waste of time and patience for me. But since i wanted to learn how ProgeCad works, i tried to xclip them all again, i even did some bloody re-attaching of files. When i opened the drawing again, everything was "xclipped off" once again. Is this a bug?
Another problem is when i copy an xref (then to be xclipped showing different view), i need to REGEN after copying or the copied xref will not show up. I have to do this everytime i copy an xref.
And the same with xclipping, i have to REGEN everthing to see if the xclip was right.
Same goes with rotating an xref.
By the way, the files i'm working with is just 323kb.
I got the same output with a bigger 720kb file.
