Out Of Memory Error

Post by Leo Graywacz »

OK, just received this error :evil:. I'm just wondering if it the famous OOM error. I was trying to save work I had just completed within the software and in the middle of saving this error box pops up. When it returns to the 3D display mode I have duplicate white only cabinets that are about 1 1/2 times bigger than the normal cabinets placed inside and outside the room walls. I had no success in saving the data at all, I tried deleting the newest added cabinets to see if it would save after I found the bad cabinet but I got back farther then when I started and still got the OOM error. I assume this id the dreaded error. I am still using V5 and waiting for the bugs to be resolved in 5.1 and 5.2

Thanks (and darn)

Leo,

I have been trying 5.1 build 2 for a little while now and it seems to be quite a bit better. You should upgrade. It's the only way we can progress.

Leo...I agree with Jean. The new update seems to have fixed a lot of issues and I haven't had any trouble with it yet.

Sorry, kinda chicken. I like to wait until most of the bugs have been worked out. I'll get there soon though. So, is it the same OOM message that I have seen here?

Leo,

You shouldn't be chicken because version 5.1 build 2 has worked out some of the bugs. So it should be better already. Since I haven't seen the 'out of memory error' yet I wouldn't be able to answer your question.

Leo,

I to have been getting the OOM error but only on files created in 5.0 and only when making to many changes before saving. I beleive this is an issue with not saving often enough. Try going back and changing maybe 3 cabs and then saving.

Leo,
I just checked and Version 5.1 build 2 has corrected the Out Of Memory error on my job that started that whole thread. I don't think the Out of Memory thing is fixed but it will be better in 5.1 build 2 than it is in 5.0 build 12.

I have a simple room layour with seven copies of the same base cabinet...nothing special at all.

If I take the entire layout to the line drawing editor, memory usage goes up to 1.6GB! The job file is only 17.9MB. If I try to copy the room in the LDE, it will churn for a while and finally cough up the out of memory error then crash.

This is with 5.1 build 2 and the room and cabinets were created with 5.1.

I do know that some memory issues were corrected with 5.1 build 2 and that the programmers are still working on other issues. I sent Scott Vaal the job and lots of information from my observations with the job.

If you wanna have some real fun (others should probably ignore this, I think only Dan and I would find the fun in it) set up Windows Task Manager and open the I/O Write Bytes column under the Processes tab. It'll make your eyes bug how much and how quickly that total rises by what you would THINK is a 'simple' process within eCabs. The cumulative effect of keeping the software running without restarting it every once in awhile - as well as Windows itself - makes one start to design cabs/projects differently so as not to tax the system until it's absolutely necessary.

Fearing the worst I have been deleting my drawing before leaving the LDE. So far so good.

This is a lot of trouble but...

I seem to have overcome the problem to a small taxing degree. I start by creating a room with walls and saving it twice calling one of them walls. I open the other file and start my design. Once I have my room basics I make the adjustments to the cabinets. I then take each cabinet to the editor and save it. now I open the walls file reinstall all the saved cabinetry into the room. This time I click save file as and click on the other file and replace it.

I have determined that resizing the cabinetry has influenced a breakup in the positronic membraine inhibiting the optiminal co-processor. Thus resulting in a catastrophic event. Nonetheless an abrupt end to a seemingly smooth process. :roll:

I just did a layout at 4.35 MB, took it to the LDE, came back, saved and it only increased to 4.65MB W/O the new build. :?

It's not the file size Rick, its the amount of memory being used by the eCabinets process.

You can use Task Manager to watch memory usage. Click on the Processes tab and watch eCabinets.exe.
