Topic: Video Problem with one Drawing

[Rob...]

Audit in ACAD2006 found no errors and that command is not in 2006.

I run into this a lot because I am using MEP. I think you need to EXPORTTOAUTOCAD in order to get rid of that stuff. It's libraries and dictionaries for AEC content. It doesn't look like you are using any and I thought it might help with performance. Just a shot in the dark on my part, but your saving back as a DXF did the same thing plus more.

Did you by chance try WBlocking the drawing before the resorting to DXF?

I did delete all the arrow hatches (ANSI 31) and saved to a new DWG name.
So far no crashes. maybe the viewports are not the problem.

I will try a solid hatch now.

FYI: My current video card: NVIDIA Quatro K5000

Just tested it on a computer here that has a Radeon 4550. It does not lock up, but you should definitely upgrade your video card

But I've been saving for an SSD drive http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-512GB-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-7KE512BW/dp/B00LF10KTO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1422563893&sr=8-2&keywords=ssd+850+pro

Me thinks you can get it for much less than full retail:

Take a closer look: I'm looking at 512GB
SAMSUNG 850 Pro Series MZ-7KE128BW 2.5" 128GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive

FWIW .. you'll get much more bang for your buck with the EVO series over PRO. I have 8 of them (250GB) in our office and they're rock solid.

[Bethrine]

Okay. You guys lost me...aren't an SSD and a graphics card two seperate animals? SSD is "storage" right? and graphics card is, well, graphics? Or does an SSD do stuff I am unaware of? 

[CAB]

Right you are but I don't have money for both.
So if I can live with the Video Card I will spend the money on the SSD.


Ron, given that the Pro is slightly faster & 5 year warranty you still think EVO is a better buy?

[Bethrine]

Ah, Okay. Thank you.  and that sucks.

Comparison of the smaller drives: I expect the 512GB to be similar to 256GB in speed

Problem is my computer has a SATA II and will not be at max speed.

It's $100 cheaper .. I'd say it's worth it. Real world application you won't notice a difference between the two. Now you need a sata 3  computer

[CAB]

Wow, you're spending my money faster than I can make it.

Kidding aside, it may be time for a new box so I can upgrade the video card & get SSD.
Only problem is it's not broke.
