Buffer Warnings

If you select a very large number of features to buffer, AutoCAD Map 3D will

display a warning and give you the option of reducing the number of features

in your selection. AutoCAD Map 3D will also display this warning if you have

selected features with very complex geometry, or if you have selected merge

options for too many features or features with complex geometry.

NOTE When creating buffers around objects with complicated geometries, such

as islands, the buffer might not display correctly. If you use the merge option to

merge the buffers for all the geometries of a feature, it will display correctly.
