AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 - Section view grids do not fully open in publish plots

I have a Corridor drawing Xrefenced into a the section view drawing for plan production sheets.  When I go to publish the Sheet Set the Section View Grids do not fully open before it makes a plot, thus the plots shows the corridor section clipped at the bottom or top edge of the grid  See attached image.

 

Now if I open the section view drawing the grids will fully open to it's proper elevations shown in the section properties and I can plot manually with no problem.  My work around is to set each section view properties --> Elevations tab to the "User specified" Minimum & Maximum elevations, instead of the "Automatic" Minimum & Maximum setting that it was originally created from.  This will make the publish option work properly, but now I have to go set this manually for 4 miles of 50' station section views.  Does anyone at Autodesk know about this issue or have a fix for it?

 

Let me know.

 

Thanks,

Dane

Your computer is running out of memory. That is why the entire grid isn't loading when you publish.

Ok, I can see the 4 miles of section view running out of memory, although I have another half mile project that only has 9 sheets of sections that it is doing the same thing in.  I have completed many simular projects in 2014 & 2015 versions without this problem.  I still think it is an 2016 issue.  I will see if more RAM helps.

 

Thanks for your reply.

I think it has to do with networked drawings and loading them and it sucking up resources for some reason. I've had this happen to me before. It's not really related to the complexity of the drawings, but how all the xrefs and data shortcuts come together and where're they're saved.
