Hello mystery person who is named after this list, :-) I would guess that you're creating a gargantuan file if you're copying and pasting a day's worth of graphics into one Frame file. As much as I love Frame, I have to assume that it has some file size limitations. I would recommend breaking the file apart if you plan to continue doing the copy and paste thing. You can always link the smaller files together in a book file. The other option is to link rather than copy the graphics into one FrameMaker file using File > Import > File. To do that, you would first have to save or export the files in a format that Frame can import rather than copying and pasting from AutoCAD. I'm not familiar with the file format options in AutoCAD, but I know that the import file window in Frame will have a drop-down list of the file formats that it can import. I hope that helps.
