Can't save (hoops fatal error)

[wayne chater]

I build my room (with c-tops) and save it just fine. I then bring it to line drawing editor to produce shop drawings, make one copy which I turn for a front view, try to save and get hung up. I eventually get the following message;

Hoops fatal error
Fatal error (3/4) from hoops routine 'copy segment'
no more memory available.

I have an intel E6600 core 2 duo 2.40 GHz, 300 GB hd drv w/ 2GB ram.

Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks, Wayne

Can you attach the room so we can take a look at it?
Thanks

Hope this works.

I downloaded the file and was able to reproduce the error exactly as described. In fact, I was able to reproduce it perfectly a total of five times. Even after this error, and without rebooting, I proceeded to remove all door and drawer pulls, one cabinet at a time.

Work-around: Removing all the drawer and door pulls eliminates this error, and also allows saving the job and working in the LDE. The entire job saved in less than 3 seconds.

Thanks Al, this may prove helpful. I'm reluctant to submit shop drawings to the archetect with no pulls but if it is the only way so be it. I may try developing the drawing without saving and then taking a jpeg or converting to a pdf file. My computer guru showed me how once before, now if only I can remember??? Tomorrow afternoon we leave for a week of house boating so I may not get to try this till I get back. I'll let you know how it works out.

I am hoping it will work for you, Wayne.

While I was working with your file I noticed that memory use was pegged at the maximum of the physical memory on my laptop (2GB), before removing all the pulls.
