I'll try to make this as clear as possible.
I create a sizable (23MB) 3D model (approx 2000 solids) and all is well with the world. I list all items in the drawing and get
3DSOLID Layer: "suspension beam"
Space: Model space
Handle = 1898
History = None
Show History = No
Bounding Box: Lower Bound X = 451.7283 , Y = -49.0353 , Z = 119.7554
Upper Bound X = 452.7283 , Y = -38.0353 , Z = 130.1553
However, after saving the file and reopening, I list the items within the drawing again and get
3DSOLID Layer: "suspension beam"
Space: Model space
Handle = 1898
Face1 Material = Global
Face2 Material = Global
Face3 Material = Global
Face4 Material = Global
Face5 Material = Global
Face6 Material = Global
Face7 Material = Global
Face8 Material = Global
I haven't assigned any materials to any solid or face. The other symptom is that the file takes for ever to open after loading 99% despite the fact that the file size is unchanged.
I have noticed this issue since version 2007.
Any clues on how to resolve this irritating/timeconsuming error?
