File Won't Save - Out of memory

Rob Perry · Post by **Rob Perry** » Sat, Feb 24 2007, 6:13PM

AAAARRRRGGG !!!

I've started using E-Cabinets recently and have designed a couple projects so far. I upgraded my ram to 1 Gig & put in a Nividia GEForce 7300 Vid Card With 256 Ram. I thought everything was good until it try to make some changes in one project and try to save and the screen goes all haywire & says Out of memory & Presto all changes Lost. I've tried making only a small change & saving but No Go. I'm stressed about getting this project revised as we want to start early next week. Anyone with any Ideas ?? I'm using a new pentium D 2.66 GHZ , 1 Gig Ram

Rob,
this is a problem that has been plaguing several of us for a while. I haven't heard if there is a cure yet.
Here is a link to an earlier thread on this subject Out of Memory

I suppose the Thermwood team is having hard time as well since we haven't heard from Dean about it for quite a while.

Daniel,
I have been plagued with Out of Memory since Thanksgiving of last year. I would really like to hear what you know.

A LOT of users have been plagued by the out of memory issue. Is there anything in the works to identify and correct the issue?

I haven't personally run into this issue yet, but I know of those who have. What I've noticed is that e-cabs uses gobs of Virtual Memeory while rendering which can be very time consuming. Especially when moldings are not hidden.

I had a customer change their registry key per the link at the beginning of this post and it seemed to work.......................................for about a week. So I really don't know anything.

Thanks guys for your responses

I've managed to do a small amount of work with the file I'm having trouble with. I had to adjust the cabinet size in Cabinet Editor and save before bringing it into the room. Usually it would take me a few trys each time to get it to save.... Very Very time consuming.. I've been trying for hours to put a door on a angle cabinet by installing the door on the cabinet in detail room.. No Go .. It will just not save .. I've attached a screenshot of what happens when I get the out of memory message (the dialog box dissapeared when I went to save the screen image) I'm curious if anyone else also gets the same screen.

I've tried disabeling internet and antivirus ( AVG ) but it does not seem to make a difference. I actually upgraded my ram and Vid Card after I was getting this issue but id did not seem to make any difference.

Daniel.. I tried to call but was unable to get threw.. But according to your last post mabe I don't need to call .. ??

Well I think I've discovered one reason why I'm getting a Out of memory message constantly. I went to Line drawing editor & Deleted all the pages that were not needed ( Pages I used to Check Dimensions etc. )
There was about 18 of them. I reduced it down to 3.
Suddenly I have no problem saving and the speed in which it saves got much faster. In fact everything seems to work faster. I'm Much happier now..

I'm pretty new at this too, but something I picked up in another thread might be of help for new users. My system started out great but after a couple of weeks of building a library and two kitchen layouts things started getting weird. While I was getting my feet wet I made allot of changes to the cabs I was putting in my library and apparently all those extra changes (or parts of them ) were somehow being dragged around with the cabs even though they where deleted. Now I'm not positive if this is true but after I made a clean library without all the junk, things were back to smooth sailing. I'm running an emachine/ 805 pentium 2.66/533mhz/2gigs ram/3.84 gigs virtual memory/ Nvidia Ge force 7900 GT 256 ram. I've done some average size layouts ( nothing huge, yet) and so far I'm very impressed at how well my budget system is running. Oh, bye the way, I learned that ram is not just ram, they have different speeds? Does anyone know if that's for real?

You bet it's for real! Not only is there different speeds, there are different architectures (DDR, DDR2, ECC, Non-ECC, etc). It's a real jungle out there.

For more than you ever wanted to know about memory, check out Kingston Technology's Ultimate memory Guide.

One important note: Don't mix memory speeds in the same system. Your system will access memory at the slowest speed memory installed when multiple speed memory modules are installed.
