When exporting a window as a raster file, there seems to be a maximum size
that the exported window can reach (size as defined in the export requester,
could be larger or smaller than than the original size) independently of the
size of the resulting file.
Example : if I create a layout made of 3x3 lettersize pannels, and if I want
to export it as a tif file, I get a message about insufficient memory. With
my 64 meg, the maximum seems to be around 300 sq.in. or between 4 and 5
lettersize pages. Larger layouts have to be reduced in size at export time.
That can be also found when exporting a mapper (it has a maximum size well
under the export constraint) and inflating the size of the exported window.
Can anyone shed some light on this requirement? Any experience with very
large files?
TIA

p.s. : I just discovered that v4.2 and v5 behave differently while exporting
layout windows. V5 takes the entire "real" size of the layout, even if not
displayed at full scale, and respects scrupulously the dimensions and scale;
but you cannot choose extracting a part of it. That was not the case with
v4.2 where one had lots of problems to control the contents the scale and
the positionning of the final product. A +++ for v5.
