I try to do animation rendering by setting up the animation and letting run overnight sometimes. I often get the pop up window telling me that "the "undo" file size has reached its limit - Do I want to increase the file size?" This pauses the rendering until I hit the OK button. How do I get that to stop?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to render animations and I am still getting the "Undo file size exceeded" message in the middle of my animation. I have tried every option I could find to get it to stop but it keeps happening. Some of the animations take over an hour and I don't want to sit in front of the computer waiting to click ok to increase the file size.
I've maxed out the size in the settings at 4096K but it still gives me the message at 2048 and 3072.
Is there a way to undo without zoom as part of the undo?

I have a problem understanding how undo marks are added to the undo stack.In the code below a fan of lines are draw in a random location.If you run MTest a few times, the AutoCAD Undo command will remove the fans one at a time.
If you run MMulti to draw 10 fans, the AutoCAD Undo command will remove all the fans in a single step.I want to be able to remove the fans one at a time.I thought that a StartTransaction / Commit pair would act as markers for the undo stack, but this isn't working.
Tested on AutoCAD 2010 VS 2008
<CommandMethod("MMult")> _
Sub testmult()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 10
Call testdraw()
Next
End Sub

I accidentally resized a batch process to an unusable size! Is there any way to undo this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI think it'd be so cool to be able to replay your entire undo history of a picture, so you can see and show others how you proceeded on a picture you made. That way, it's never necessary to capture screen video for like 10 hours and stuff..
So first you'd need to add an option to save the undo history (so that you always keep the history from when you started). Then you'd need an option to playback the undo history.
I have a brand new workstation and only on certain files it will say FATAL ERROR: Cannot write to undo file (probably disk full) when ever I save. I have tried cleaning out the TEMP file, turning off the Undo function, auditing the file and its xrefs, and recovering the file. It was a file that was on the server, but I have pulled it to my local machine and I have also increased the amount of virtural memory avaiable.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe AutoCAD LT 2012 crashes when I try to copy certain features to different locations. The size of the drawing file is about 3.2 MB. The error message reads as below
FATA ERROR: Cannot write to undo file (probably disk full).
Error: Unhandled Exception
There were some messages posted earlier in regard to this error. Most suggested cleaning temp directory, having more RAM, more graphics memory, etc. I have done everything but I could not overcome this problem. My system specifications are
16GB RAM, Windows 7 (64-bit), More than 100GB free disk space, NVIDIA GEforce GT-120 (512 MB).
which event is fired if a user clicks on "Undo"? Document.OnChange doesn't work, OnTerminateCommand is also not fired.

I am trying to import a tab from another drawing, and it does not matter which tab or what drawing, I am getting this issue.
Say I have a model and some layouts in a file.
I open the file to the model. My RAM usage is about 33%. Next, I open the first layout and my usage climbs to 43%. I open the second layout and my usage climbs to 52%. I open the third layout and my usage climbs to 62%.
I can go back and view the layouts already opened marginally faster then when first opening them, and my RAM usage will not increase.
If I continue to open new layouts, my computer will spend all its RAM holding these and freeze. My computer will suspend graphical processing and be forced to run on sips of RAM until all active commands are finished. But RAM usage will never decrease.
I have been working with my Windows Task Manager open in the corner, watching this happen. This way, I can save and close the file to clear the RAM and then proceed to reload the file and continue working on my file with 34 layouts.
I do not know if it is a function of storing the UNDO functions, or just how the program is designed, but this is a problem for me.
QUESTION
Is there a way to clear the UNDO or layout memory without closing and reloading the file? I do not have to close AutoCAD - just the file.
ATTACHEMENT
The attachement is a screenshot of my Task Manager.
I started with TM, browser, and AutoCAD open (I had already started writing this post)
I opened the file to the model.
Opened up 6 layouts (you can see the bumps)
Saved (you can see the tiny rise)
Closed the file, but not AutoCAD (precipitous drop ;] )
Lastly, I reloaded the file.

I have a simple angle iron (3 x 2 x 1/4 w/t x 3.00 LG.) .ipt that has 8 thru holes in it file size is 962 MB the file will not open however 3 days ago the file was normal size (160-180KB) and opened fine when i attempt to open this file it eats up about 8 gig of RAM then gives me PmBRepSegment in database then aborts the open process but Task Image Inventor.exe retains the 8+ gig of memory as if a file is open, what caused this file to grow 900 times in size when nothing was done to it?

IPT FILE
I have been using solid body ipts and iLogic code to drive them. I got a little carried away and noticed that the file size was 47 MEG. So I decided to start stripping out items in the model. I stripped out of all the code and all but the initial solid body. There is nothing left but a simple extruded feature. I saved the file and checked the size... 39 MEG.
What is it that could possibly be left in the ipt that would be 39 MEG? I probably deserve this punishment for pushing Inventor beyond its "normal" capabilities.
Using Inventors VBA, is it possible to get the sheet size of a idw drawing file (E.g. A0, A1, A2 etc)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a function which removes the filepath from an IDW drawing which is handy when exporting to other formats. Currently it's just used in a batch script so the drawings close without being saved and there is no problem. Now I'm trying to make another macro which will just export the currently open drawing. So I have to undo removing the file path so the drawing is back to it's original state.
Below is the code for removing the filepath from the titlebar. I tried to do the reverse and put <FILENAME AND PATH> back in, however it appears as normal text. Since the title block uses "variables" which update with other properties and I don't wish to lose that adaptibility.
Function Remove_FilePath()On Error GoTo ErrMsgDim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocumentSet oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument' Create the new title block defintion.Dim oTitleBlockDef As TitleBlockDefinitionSet oTitleBlockDef = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.TitleBlock.DefinitionDim oSketch As DrawingSketchCall oTitleBlockDef.Edit(oSketch)Dim count As Integercount = 1While oSketch.TextBoxes.Item(count).Text <> vbNullString If oSketch.TextBoxes.Item(count).Text = "<FILENAME AND PATH>" Then oSketch.TextBoxes.Item(count).Text = " " End If count = count + 1WendErrMsg:Call oTitleBlockDef.ExitEditEnd Function
So I either need a way to undo the actions of the subroutine or know how to insert the "variable" which references the file's properties.
Undo Command still turning off (disabled) constantly even after dumping the temp folder, and the turn off, turn on solution does not seem to work either.
Any solutions to this nagging issue other than re-install?
A couple of years ago, there was a limit to the part file size that could be published to the content center. Using the new shrinkwrap capabilities and/or derived parts in Inventor we can produce rather large part files. Does the 2014 software have limits to the actual file size that can be published to the content center. 520K, 1M, 30M, 1G? We have some subassemblies that we would like to convert and publish to the content center but wanted to know how large we can make them.
Content Center is located on server with 3T+ of storage possible.
I am trying to export and save numerous Inventor Assembly Models, to send to various customers to import into their models. I have been saving them as .stp files, but they are very large files after exporting, and I'd like to know if there is a way to decrease the exported file size. I could zip them after I create them, but I was hoping there was an easier way or different format than .stp. I could also suppress numerous internal componants, but I would rather not have to go through that task either. In the end, they would really only require the outer shell, with any externally viewed holes still present.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy intention was to convert a 3DS-File into an IPN-File, to use it in Inventor.As I did not managed to do this in Inventor, I importet the 3DS-File in CATIA V5 and converted it into a CATIA-CatPart and from there in an IGES.Then I was able to open it in Inventor and made a IPN out of it.
The PROBLEM: The original 3DS-File had 700 kilobyte but the actual IPN 54 MegaByte !
We were sent some step files of valves from a company - what would be the best practice to make this into (clean up) a useful part to be used in our assemblies. Interested in converting it into a useful part but reduced in size. (Compared to other valves we use - this is easily 10 times the size).

what the file size limit is for importing point clouds into Inventor? Or is that a how long is a piece of string question that depends on computer ability?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had been working on an edit for way too long and of course i didnt save it the entire time because im terrible i guess, I wanted to see what the deal with Lens Flare was so i went Filter>Render>Lens Flare to check it out. I hated it and immediately removed the flare with no problems.
Then I was going to go back to Lens Flare to see if i could adjust it into something sort of decent but i accidentally went Filter>Render>Lighting Effects and it locked my Photoshop up (yes my computer sucks). I then started to panic because of the extensive amount of time i put into this edit without saving it.
I opened Photoshop and it loaded up the recovered file i was working on. Unfortunately it has the terrible lens flare from my first attempt attached to it and im not able to undo or anything. Is there anything i can do to get rid of the lens flare?
