Excessive Memory usage when Hatching a Sketch ... PC locks up.

[michaeldavis7418]

I'm curious if anyone else has  had this issue. This is happening on quite a few pc's since the installation of SP1.1 ...

I've had it run up 5gigs before locking up the pc

Thanks,

Actually I did find out what the issue was this morning:

If you use Concrete for Hatching ... it must be a scale of 2 or larger, or it locks up

I tried what you suggested and got the concrete loaded, applied it to a section view then scaled it up by 2. It did not crash or spike the memory as you stated. Not sure if you might have some type of system conflict. Try updating the video card driver to the certified version on Autodesk’s web site type "Certified Inventor Graphics" in the search area, then if needed try the latest and greatest manufactures version also to see if that helps.

I also have not been able to reproduce the problem you describe.

Maybe you could attach your Template file, so we can test using the same.
