Is anyone experiencing problems with the Autocad Map 3D 2012 crashing for no apparent reason, it also seems to happen more when entering the block editor.
My system is 8Gb Ram, HP Z420 Xeon Processor workstation with windows 7, i don't know what the graphics are othern thna a Nvidea set up run on 2 monitors, but it also does peculiar things with hte graphics, e.g. tool palette icons disappearing and then crashing.
Any suggesitons gratefully appraciated.

Hello from France
1) Have you tried to open your DWG in RECOVER Mode ?
2) Have you installed the SP 2 for MAP 2012 ?
3) When do you crash ?
With a specific DWG ?
With a specific action ?
Is it with FDO features ?
Bye, Pat

Good day Pat,
In response to your questions below,
1, yes although it doesn't always come up. it is repeatedly crashing and is very frustrating.
2, yes it is installed
3 it tends to crash more often than not when i try to enter the block editor, it pauses and then vanishes. different drawings, what does FDO mean?
One of the signs i know it is going to crash is when the icons in the tool pallette disappear, it is also constantly saying it is running low on memory. I have attached a file whihc shows the images vanishing.
Regards
Colin
Hello
So you have problems even if you have opened in Recover Mode your main DWG and ALL its XREF DWGs !
You enter FDO features when doing for example a MAPCONNECT command !?
So I imagine that you are not using FDO ...
Please confirm that you are using MAP 2012 64 bits on a Win Seven Pro 64 bits ?
I am almost sure, but !?
Please try to reconfigure your graphic card NVidia driver to use only (if possible) 15/16 bits color mode (32000/65000 colors)
and NOT the standard Mode which is 24/32 bits color mode (16 Million Colors) !
If possible : all special graphic features of Win 7 will automatically be disabled : Windows like Win 2000/XP ...
It could solve a lot of graphic problems ! If it's your problem !?

It could solve a lot of graphic problems ! If it's your problem !? we can't change the settings as our IT department have placed a lot of restricitons on the PC's.
they are going to come round to see for themselves the problems we are having. I will bring these issues to their attention.
Thanks again
