murraymac Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Dear All, I have a file containing around 12,500 unique lights, of about 30 types. I have set up the file with 12,500 references to a single dynamic block, and I'm using VBA to set the visibility state of the blocks to match the appropriate type of light to an external Excel sheet. So far so good. The problem I have is that AutoCAD now falls over with 'Fatal Error: Out of Memory' upon exiting the block editor. At this point it is try to update all 12,500 block definitions. Am I just being too ambitious for what dynamic blocks can achieve? Should I be using 30 different block definitions, rather than 30 different visibility states? Or is there any workaround to allow AutoCAD to update so many block definitions with one hit? PC has 4GB of RAM, but onboard graphics.... Any opinions would be most welcomed! Many thanks, Murray Quote
ReMark Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 It could be that you do not have enough virtual memory. That is normally the case with "out of memory" errors. What are the remaining specs on your computer? It may be time for an upgrade or a new computer. Quote
