MDF Door Causes Excessive Memory Allocation

Hi

(Ecab 5 Built 12)

Found a weird problem today. Wanted to change existing kitchen that had door/drawer fronts from \"alternate source\" to a MDF door that I customized with inside/outisde profiles to create a one piece mdf door. When I started, the esj file was about 10 Meg. The first thing I noticed when I started changing doors (from the custom layout area) is that the operation took a long time (several minutes with say 6 cabinets selected). Then I noticed that after I was done, the nesting would not work and would \"hang\". Have a total of 19 cabinets. Ran into memory limitations when trying to save file - had to change a door at a time and save, door at a time, save, etc, etc. Noticed that that 10Meg esj had more than doubled by the time I had changed all my doors to that one piece mdf door.

Computer is a dell Precision M70 with 1Gig Ram. Not sure what video is in it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
