MikeP Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Sometimes when using the trim command it will completely freeze on me and I have to force a close. This only happens though then I try to trim a line or lines (qty of objects does not matter) by windowing the object. If the click the line, its ok. But if I were to window it... Bam... Frozen! and it wont come back. I went to lunch and back and still locked up. anyone else experience a similar issue and found a resolution? BTW I open the task manager and the memory that CAD is using in nothing substantial enough to create an issue to freeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgbgod Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I have had a similar problem a few years back. While using the TRIM command are you slecting any parameters before trimming the object(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might get some improvement by doing a good purge. I used to have this happen to me now and then when I was on ver. 2007. It seems to be a memory addressing problem and dumping a lot of the unused stuff out of your drawing through a purge might help. Then run Audit on it too. Once a drawing that did this got corrupted and I had to call in some magicians to recover it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana W Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 nope, totally random, any drawing. I have plenty of ram so i dont wanna says its the problem. Well, I dunno then. Bloated scale lists? Maybe they are all too fat? How much ram is on your vid card? You really need to have at least as much as AutoCad suggests. I'm kinda spittin' into the wind here. It's been a while since I had to deal with this issue. Usually somebody that actually knows how to fix stuff pops in and takes over for me. I don't wanna wast your time with guesses.

Jack_O'neill Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I echo the purge idea. All sorts of stuff collects, especially in a big drawing. I routinely get drawings from customers that are 8-10 mb. Quick purge usually cuts them in half or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I would say it is a graphics card or driver problem since it is only associated with windowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
