Message when moving or copying objects: Do you really want to do this?

Issue

When you move or copy objects that affect the boundary of a hatch, part of which is in an xref, the following message is displayed:

Do you really want to do this?

Solution

This is a precautionary message.

When you move the boundary for an associative hatch, whether the boundary is in the xref or in the parent drawing, the program must analyze all the objects in view and in the xref to find the hatch boundaries. The more objects that are in view, the longer this analysis takes. To avoid this message, do not move the boundaries after you place the hatch, or do not use associative hatches.
