INVALID SOLIDS
« on: August 15, 2012, 05:49:58 PM »
Can anyone tell me why solids that are valid one day are invalid when I open the drawing the next day.
Thanks for any help in advance

Others using a different version of CAD? Any document management programs used with your CAD files?

System low on memory?

Once upon a time I was getting many invalid solid errors. After upgrading the memory in my system, the problems went away.

John,
Is this issue reproducible or random ?
If randon, I assume "when I open the drawing the next day" is not literal.

Are the solids produced pragmatically ?
if so , how ?

Does the issue apply to ALL solids in a drawing, or only some ??

Which AutoCAD are you using ?

Shouldn't that be programmatically? Auto-correct's a b-tch isn't it!

Common sense - the curse in disguise. Because if you have it, you have to live with those that don't.

To all,
Using windows 7 professional service pack 1 with 6 gb of memory.
autocad 12 64 bit.
The problem seems random, some solids OK others invalid.

Is there a procedure (or specific procedures) performed on the solids that become invalid.

No procedures undertaken. Just close the drawing, reopen at a later date and some solids become invalid.

This is worse than pulling teeth. :)

How are the solids created ?
Are the solids that cause problems created differently to the ones that are OK.
(ie) Are unions, subtractions, extrusions, sweeps etc etc particular to the failures.

Does not appear to be any particular operation that causes the problem
