Well I don't know... I was just working on an exterior elevation a moment ago. The DWG site plan that is imported is turned off in both the view and the workset for this particular elevation view. Before I started working on the elevation, the box that pre-highlights when you roll over the view on the sheet was just as big as the view itself. Then I drew one line, and placed a "CJ" below it for brick control joint, and then suddenly the pre-highlight box got super wide.
Here's another wierd thing, if I copied each piece individually (either the line or the text), the dotted box that appears when you hit the copy button was only as big was each object. But if I copied both the line and the text together, the dotted box was also super-wide.
I bet it's related to the problems I'm having with the level visibility in some of my elevations. The project was started with north pointing down, and I spun the whole project around 180 degrees at one point, and I think the 3D extents of my levels are all screwed up now, and I still haven't figured out how to fix it.
Might just have to resort to 1-800-GO-REVIT
