    A2k dwf eplot problem

    Hello,

    I'm having trouble creating dwf files from a drawing in paper space with
    multiple viewports looking into a fairly complex model. There are
    multiple/nested xrefs that are 2d and model items that are 3d with (6)
    paperspace viewports.

    The problem is when trying to create b/w eplots, it either takes a
    ridiculously long time or it crashes AutoCAD. Sometimes, it brings the
    entire system down.

    I'm using a 500Mhz pIII w/384RAM & scsi hard drives w/ about 500 megs of
    swap space.

    My first guess is that I may be running out of swap space. I'm going to
    try another machine with more space, but I'm not convinced that is the
    problem. I've tried binding the xrefs and xref clipping the backgrounds
    with no luck.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    jim
