    When copying a large number of elements to the clipboard the whole contents do not display in the preview

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): MicroStation
      Version(s): 08.05.02.58
      Environment:  N\A
      Area:  OLE
      Subarea:  N\A

    Problem

    When copying a large number of elements to the clipboard, the entirety of the contents do not display in the preview. When pasting, the elements on the cursor reflect the preview. However, all elements are pasted.

    Solution

    For all dynamics including clipboard preview, uses the function "mdlDynamic_getMaxNumElements" to limit the amount of drawing that occurs. The internal limit of 5,000 elements may be overridden by the MicroStation configuration variable "MS_MAXDYNAMICELMS".
