error message

[Tom Krowka]

am receiving an error message as follows:
"maximum length of linked elements reached". Anybody know what that means. Perhaps coincidentally, regen time for elevations has gone way up.

Do you have nested XREFs or modules, i.e. a xref that contains a xref that contains another... I do not know how many "levels" they can have, but from the message it seems that you just discovered it.

[Tom Krowka]

That's not it. No xrefs or modules in the project at all....

[James Murray]

Wild guess: Lots of SEOs perhaps? I've seen that cause regen slowdowns. Never seen that message, though.

[Tom Krowka]

Not many seo's. Maybe six or seven throughout the project. A thought however.....I sometimes put the cutting element on a separate layer then turn it off when not using it, so it won't show in the elev. Do the operator and target both have to be on a visible layer?

[Erika Epstein]

No, in fact a separate SEO layer, often set to wire-frame is typical. You need to keep the operator in the file and not moved if the operator is not part of the visible model e.g a roof (operator) trimming walls(target).
