Fearless Freddie Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I am using a 64 bit machine with Vista. I spend most of my time wondering what is taking so long between commands. That is when I’m not recovering from a crash. I have the updates and patches that I see on the Autodesk site. I was running 32 bit machines and getting memory errors. The best I could find out was to upgrade to 64 bit machines. I did this and the memory errors stopped. But now I have new issues. I open a drawing and every command makes the program freeze. The auto save is set to run every 5 minutes. When it auto saves, the machine freezes. When I edit text, the machine freezes. This is intermittent. I have tried to find a pattern to the waste of time, but I see no pattern. I am doing 3-D Modeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Perhaps your FACETRES variable is maybe set too high, hence regens are taking forever? Just a suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 What kind of file sizes are you working with? Have you tried Purging and Auditing your files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless Freddie Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 The files are some what large. Yes I purg adn audit my files often. I also use the brep command. The facetres is set to 0.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, that has narrowed it down somewhat As you mentioned that the files are quite large, my bets are still on the regen's taking a while to complete. Perhaps set REGENMODE to 0?

Lee Mac Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Alternatively, just type REGENAUTO at the command line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 What other programs are running in the background? Have you disabled Vista indexing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Are you using any custom linetypes some linetypes say one made of lots of dots can take extreme time to generate particuarly if dots spacing ends up tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
