So I've created a vector fish scale pattern by making one scale with fountain fill and a black outline, then I cloned the scale and arranged about 1000 of the clones into a rectangular shape, then placed only the clones inside a powerclip. I can manipulate the "control" shape outside the powerclip and have all the others take on the changes. All is good until I dig into the powerclip and hit finished editing. Takes literally 15 minutes to complete. Any suggestions. I tried locking the one powerclip and creating another as a sort of overlay for additional effects but still doesn't make a difference. File is only 9.7MB.
