i have consistently seen this every day for the past 2 weeks...my workaround
has been to save the drawing. exit. and get back in. does anyone know why
this continues to happen and what i can do to fix it.
Sounds like some add-on is creating selection sets and not releasing them.
Happens, for example, when the author of a LISP routine neglects to localize
variables.

thats sorta what i was thinking...i'm running express tools. do any of there
functions create this problem. i am also doing alot of editing to the
drawing. i would imagine that could drive the selection sets up.
i will have to do some checking i guess

In the Map Options dialog, there is an option to create a selection set from
queried objects. If this is checked this could be your culprit.

ok...lets try this again...i'm using autocad map. i have express tools
installed. i'm editing a base drawing with alot of information. i select
lines and blocks and then either do a match layer or current layer change
(express tools). i do alot of "isolate layer" as well. i'm constantly
freezing and thawing layers, i'm also using the layer previous button alot.
this is pretty much all that i am doing with this drawing. sometimes a
filter here and there...and lots of moving and copying.
after about 4-6 hours of editing with saves, i get this error:
"exceeded maximum number of selection sets" when i try to use one of the
express tools layer function commands.
this is not a map variable error. it appears to be either a setting error
for selections sets or as someone had mentioned earlier, perhaps a variable
clearly problem with a lisp routine....
does anyone have any ideas.

You need to close AutoCAD and restart it once in a while.
Not only are you overloading selection sets, you also lose
some memory that AutoCAD does not give up with each new open.
This will cause windows to use it's virtual memory (writing to the disk)
and slow everything down.

I found that this happnes to me, when I got a sset from a an api function, as for example, in "tpm_elemss".
This function, returns a sset, but it is not released when settting this sset to nil.
The solution I found, was to write an arx function in C, that relesae the sset.
It seems that tpm_elemss, it is writeen in 'C', and must be release with the 'acedSSFree(ss)' function as well.
Based on this, I suppoused that each autodesk api function that returns a sset, must be trated the same way
