Working with PC 7 and wildtools on a simple drawing, I find that trying to select a group of objects to move with the move points tool is sluggish and non responsive to the point it makes me think something is seriously wrong with the programs.
When trying to select a group of walls, the tool freezes part way through, selecting a small portion of the intended group...then after a period of no feed back it finally selects the whole group.
This is not the way it used to operate. Is this a problem others have had? I know most of you have abandoned PC-7, but some of us can't justify a new machine and software right now. Having these sorts of problems is not a good incentive to move forward on the faint hopes it will get better.

I've had that problem using the Wildtools Move Points tool on PC7 as well. The more objects you decide to move, the worse the situation is.
I took for granted that it was a part of the slow PC7 experience. 
PC8 does not experience this problem.

Peter,
The problem here is that I was using a bitmap to draw the little red explosion, and it bogged the machine down when there were lots of points. I know I fixed this some where along the way, but I don't remember when. I thought I had fixed it in PC7/WT8, but I'm not at my office right now.
