Select box - is there a limit to how many parts ?

[beachcomber]

Merry Christmas everyone,

I have a very large assembly (around 20,000 parts) for which I have to create drawings.
I'm trying to reduce the number of parts displayed by using the 'Select Visible Parts' command or a selection box.
The views are then saved as View Configs which are then to be placed on drawings.
The problem I'm having is that when I have all parts displayed the select visible parts or selection box does not select anything.
If I turn everything off and then turn on sub-assemblies in turn they work up to a point, but there seems to be a limit on how many parts it will select.
Has anyone else come across similar problems ?

Hello bc,

That's one big assembly. What version and update of SE are you running?

Solid Edge V19 SP1 on WinXP SP2

Toffeet,
I'm not at work right now, but it's V18 and I think its Sp6 or 7.
