Plotmaker Problem: selecting imported drawings

Anonymous
Not applicable
When I select the frame around an imported drawing (a view from ArchiCAD) I can resize the frame once by grabing one of the side or corner points on the drawing. But I can only do this once. After the first time I cannot grab the points with my cursor. In order to regrab the points I need to either save the drawing or rebuild and then reselect the imported drawing.

The problem was intermitent on our computer running Plotmaker 3. On the computer running Plotmaker 9 the problem is constant.

Is this a setting problem or a bug? How can I make it so that I can select a drawing and keep resizing the frame around it without saving, rebuilding and reselecting the drawing?

Thank you,
John

Hmmmm ... did you try ArchiCAD on a contemporary PC? I have a feeling that your hardware lags CONSIDERABLY. Never had more than half a second delay, let alone half a minute ...
Yes, I wonder too if it is your processor Thomas ... there is no delay at all on my PC or Mac doing this ... Esc, then undo puts it right immediately. Hardware specs below.
