    VW eats memory

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    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

    Layers and sub layers

    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.

    Layers and sub layers

    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.

    Fly over tool

    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.

    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.

    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
