Netters: I am running into an earlier than expected limitcheck error when using the 'clip' operator. I am creating a path using initclip, moveto, multiple linetos, and closepath. If the path has between 600 and 700 segments, clip produces a limitcheck error on our laserwriter. I was expecting a limitcheck error somewhere closer to 1500 path segments, as is suggested in the red book. What is going on with 'clip' that produces this 'premature' limitcheck? I am not using any curved path segments, so it seems that path flattening shouldn't be a factor. Is this problem dependent on device resolution?? Any wisdom would be appreciated. Thanks, Craig.
