PWx-2 memory issue

Jeff,

Thanks for the warning. I just finished a large assembly, but only got to the 1.4 gig level and that was on the master assembly drawing. I stripped the drawing so as not to go any higher.

We then purchased 3 gigs of ram. I never did exceed the 1.4 gig level and am now not to interested in having to do larger assemblies.

I may have another large assembly to do real soon (meeting in Detroit Friday). I'm going to set up the procedures for handling large assemblies for the upcoming project and I sure would like to get any advice you might have as to how you handle large assemblies and what all of the options might be.

We can take it off line if you prefer. Thanks in advance.

FYI - with the correct syntax, and a hotfix from Microsoft, the 3GB switch does work and will keep PWx renderings from crashing when it hits 1.7GB of memory usage. See the new thread on the /3GB switch for details on what I had to do to get it to work.

Well, what you do is copy the hidden files on your C: drive to A:, then boot from that.

For instance:

arcldr.exe arcsetup.exe autoexec.bat boot.ini cmldr config.sys io.sys msdos.sys ntdetect.com ntdr

Thanks Ed.

I've been following the /3GB thread and will check the new info.
