    Default Acad2013 / Plant 3d 2013 clipped xrefs

    In plant 3D, we have 2d xrefs, which I have clipped and the xclipframe set to 0 so that I cannot see them. However, when I select objects using a window crossing, the xref(s) get selected, too, and it's making me crazy. Is this something new in 2013, and if so, WHY?? 'Cause in '10 this doesnt' happen, and i don't think it happens in '12. ( we don't have acad 2013 here...) I use acad 2013 at home and have not encountered this aggrivating problem.
    any advice is helpful and appreciated.

    It was evidently introduced in AutoCAD 2012.

    If they don't, then users will complain that they aren't getting anything for their money. Pitchforks if they do, torches if they don't. Frankensteins choice if you will.
