Plotmaker Merge

Can I make a merge of two different .lbk into one? Why a "Not enough memory" pop window appear? How can I resolve this? We have forced to split the lbk into 3 different files because of this message. No that we deliver the project want back everything in one file.

Yamil,

I have come across the same problem. PM seems to pop up the error message when the virtual memory usage hits 2GB (which is memory limitation of 32-bit operating systems). Usually it happens when you are using overlayed images on plans, sections or elevations that PM can't handle properly (as any 'advanced' image processing in PM is simply pathetic).
If you are working on some sort of presentation use PDFs and assemble them in photoshop/pagemaker/illustrator - whatever suits you better - believe me you will save a lot of time and frustration over PM.

Thank you Aussie, I will try the import.
Rob, about two month ago I thought it was the 32-bit system issue, but now we have a 64-bit PC and the problem persist. I don't know if PDF will be a good choice, I never try it so let see. We import all plt files from consultants into the lbk with the viewsets from AC. This project have 285 sheets, maybe that's the problem
