Topic: exceeded maximum number of selection sets

[whdjr]

What about some custom start up files?

Latest steps tried.

1. Complete uninstall (including manual removal of all files, directories, registry entries, etc)
2. Reinstall from scratch, and application of latest SP.
3. It only took about 20 minutes for this user to run into the "exceeded maximum number of selection sets" problem.
4. I immediately ran the tools provided by Tim and Jeff and neither showed ANY selection sets.
5. I have the LOG file turned on for this user, and I have been reviewing his LOG files (anybody want that job BTW....?) and he is not using any strange commands or anything. Mostly editing commands like Offset, Trim, MatchProp, and normal commands like Zoom, Qsave, etc. I don't even see any lisp being used.

Reminder, this is only happening to 1 user out of over 100.

Wow!  Is all that came to mind when read you post.  I can't think of anything right now, but if something jumps into my mind, I'll be sure to post.  Sorry nothing seems to work.

a very strange abstract from the help file

If the maximum number of selection sets is reached, you must call the gc function to free unused memory before another ssget will work.

that does not seem to work at all

It's in Autodesk's hands now..... I'll update if we ever find the cause....
