AJSmith Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Any ideas as to why when I hatch lately it seam to take forever even with simple hatching (I was hatching a zebra crossing) the first take 10-15mins or even longer resulting in the program greying out and the freezing up any ideas ? cheers Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Might want to go to Windows control panel and increase your paging file (virtual memory) capacity. Do you have many wild Zebra's in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Is there an XREF in the drawing? Are you using the pick point option to generate the hatch? Does this happen in every drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Are you hatching using DOTS if so use solid instead dots can grind a dwg to a halt. DANA W we have wombat crossings on our roads. Not to mention Puffin and Pelican systems at Traffic signals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 DANA W we have wombat crossings on our roads. Not to mention Puffin and Pelican systems at Traffic signals.Ain't nuthin'. We got Gator crossings, and a few other aminules what don't read signs all in the road here. The Gators can be 16 feet long, black bears up to 300 lbs, and Sand Hill Cranes that don't weigh much, but they're 3 feet tall and act like the veloceraptors from Jurassic Park. Did I mention Armadillos? They're only about as big as a cat but they have a bad habit of jumping straight up when panicked, so the underside of our cars have some, ah er um, things hanging on there from time to time. But by far, the most dangerous critter to be found on our roads here is the UCF Co-Ed. I am not convinced that the humans have quite taken possession of Central Florida. Anyway, to stay on topic, all of the above suggestions along with a merely adequate graphics card can make hatching a lot like watching a 2000 year old Sequoya tree grow.

SLW210 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Might help to give some computer specifications. Also, give the information on the Hatches you are using. Can you post a troublesome drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
