    Default Errors with blocks!!!!

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I have resently updated to MEP 2009. The problem I am having is when I go to move any block in the drawing if the block crosses over and MEP duct the snaps snap to it an crash no matter what. There are only two ways I have found to fix it for now. Turn off all snaps before I move, or explode the block within the drawing and make another one. Has anyone had this problem? Yes I have talked to AutoDesk and there looking into it!!!!!!

    But the quicker I can get this answered will help.

    Yes that has been all updated and still the same thing. AutoDesk just said to reinstall which did not fix it either. I am so lost.

    Check your memory (RAM). I was very unstable untill I doubled it to 8G. as I said in another thread, right click on the task bar, open task manager and check your physical memory against your RAM. You may be on the edge like I was....

    My memory looks fine to me. How are you running 2009 MEP with so high of a memory usage? I usually run two at a time and mine still never gets about 50% of my RAM.
