DBUG> IFP and Polylines

[Mark Humienny <mhumienny@daviskane.com>]

"I've also noticed most of my current IFP's are related to polylines I've
edited using the Polyline Macro. Specifically this occurs to lines edited
with the "MoveVertx" and or "AddVertx" functions. "

What timing!  Yesterday one of our interns' drawing files received an IFP
and locked up.  I had just read the DBUG, and so I casually asked if she had
been editing polylines.  It turns out the file had many associated hatch
boundaries and she had been editing vertices all day.  I think we are on to
something.  BTW she was using V8.5.02.

The other day, in another file, she was doing a two line trim when the file
just froze on the screen.  No polylines involved this time, just a worn out
re-used drawing created ages ago.  We got out of DCAD with cont-alt-del and
brought up the last version (no ASV file found!).  Immediately after double
clicking on the file name (to open it) I hit the Delete key to avoid having
the offending layer freeze up again.  I did a layer utility and imported
into a clean default drawing.  As soon as I tried to edit this file, it
froze again.  This time, I loaded the previously saved layer files into a
clean default drawing in DCAD V7.04 DOS.  This file came in fine and edited
fine.  I then saved the file and brought it back in to V8.5.02 and it has
worked fine since.
