Sabine Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I try to make a movie and everytime it stops at a certain point with the message: "running out of virtual memory". Can I adjust settings in autocad (3D performance settings) so my computer works more efficient? System: Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2 Computer: Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q6700 @2.66GHz Graphical card: Nvidia (maybe I can change settings here?) The drawing is a dwg where several other dwg-drawings are referenced into. Quote
ReMark Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 What are the specs on the nVidia card? How much physical RAM do you have installed? Virtual memory is really hard disk space that Windows sets aside to page data in and out of. How much free space is left on your hard drive? When was the last time you defragged the hard drive? Do you know what Winodws, or you, have set aside for the swap file? How big is this drawing? How big (file size) are the drawings that are referenced into this drawing? Quote
mehiar Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 i saw this message before.. i think its RAM problem .. its the same message shown when you open a large file in photoshop.. i dont know if CAD takes memory from main drive C .. but photoshop do... Quote
ReMark Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Read this article about "running out of virtual memory". It explains, in every day language, what is happening and why. http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_can_i_fix_too_little_virtual_memory_in_windows.html Quote
