Hi folks!
When I enter a solid subtraction to adjust f.ex. a hole diameter (an extruded circle) VW occupies more memory. When I exit the solid the memory is still occupied.
Some of my parts are quite complicated and when doing these kind of operations VW can occupy as much as 2 gig or more!
Then I restart the application and reload the file and it has gone back to a more normal memory usage (ca 480 meg.)
Is this normal?
Is this what is caled memory leakage?
Greateful for an answer

Thanks Robert!
I am a forum illiterate.

Bump?

I got a 2.0GHz Dual processor G5 Powermac with 2.5 gb ram, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and a WD raptor 74 drive.
It is a very fast and responsive setup.
If I bought one today I would go for the 2.7 GHz model.

When you say "recover as much as possible Layer by Layer" do you mean copy stuff on a layer in the old file and paste it on to a new layer in a new file?
-
If I edit any setting in the none class, VW freezes and I have to force quit. Is this normal?

The scrollwheel doesn't work in dialogboxes. Is there an option for this?
-
Well it seems I have to get autocad and the way I work with layers out of my head.
Thanks for the very good advice, Katie, Islandmon and Alanmac (no need to apologise).
Cheers

Im using a layer per part and a mechanical watch have loads of parts.
This is the first big project on vectorworks and for the next project i'll change the way I do things slightly. Nothing in the file comes from autocad.

I decided to create different classes to manage 2D and 3D. I added two new classes "2D" and "Locus" then I renamed the "none" class that I used for everything before to "3D". When I hit the OK button VW freezes and I have to force-quit. ?
Islandmoon I like the layerlinking feature to. I use it to make different assemblys of parts. Great for presentations and assembly drawings.

Ive been working some on autocad but abandoned the windows platform some years back.
Layer stacking order is not important to me. (being a watchmaker, not an arcitect) its more important to quickly find a layer and when my current project counts approximately 120 layers it can be hard.
I wanted to use the sub layers to store the 2D and the locus-cloud for a 3D part. (these are nice to have when doing annotation and exporting dxf etc.) I guess I should make up some classes for this but dont want to change in the middle of a project.

Hi people,
Is there a way to create sublayers in VW?
Is there a way to organise the layers in alphabetical order or do I have to do it manualy?
Greatful for any answer on this.
-
Thats it!
My layer options was set to "show/snap others".
Thanks for the answer.

When I use the flyover tool on a model rendered in open gl, it re-renders the model every time. It didn't use to do this. Have I changed a setting by mistake? I can't find any setting for this. On single parts it's OK but when several parts are assembled as layerlinks on a layer its a pain.
-
Thanks. Thats what I was looking for.

Hello people,
I'm printing alot of drawings to PDF (OSX) and now I want to combine several of these single page documents into one for convenient faxing and emailing etc. I know that Acrobat would be a fix for this but wonderd if any body knows a cheeper (freeware?)way to acheve this on my Mac running Tiger.
Greatful for any answer.

Check out the new ViewSonic 19" VX924 LCD
MSRP: $499.00
The specs look good and its DVI.

Word!

I think it is still safe to invest in the current powermac line.
Its a tried construction and the lifespan of these machines is more up to how much ram you can squeeze in to it than raw processor speed. With 8 GB of possible RAM you wont run out in a long time.
It will also be a lot longer than two years before any of the double G5 processor configurations becomes too slow.
My 2 cents
-
PB 15" for portability and a second display (Formac 2010) connected via DVI at work.
The new PB 15" has dual link DVI option and connects to the mighty 30" Cinema Display.
I think the 17" is too bulky.

Could it really be this difficult to include this in the application? Can I pay somebody to fix it? Could one write a vectorscript to preform this? When could one expect this very basic function to be included in an update?

Has the 11.5 update solved the dimensioning problems described in this thread? Has anybody tried yet. I'm in Switzerland and the update is not available yet.

VW eats memory

Normal memory usage is about 180 meg on this file and not 480 meg.
