2017 Rendering Crash

  I am working on a presentation due in a day and attempting to Render in 2017. The file is complex but not any more complex than anything I have done before. The file will not render in 2017, crashes just after the render window opens. I have tried on 2 computers, both Autocad approved builds.

 As per another member of this forum I moved to AutoCad 2016 and was able to set up the lighting and render away.

I know there are other software solutions for rendering but since I will extract construction drawings from my original AutoCad drawing I would rather stay inside one software enviroment.

As a test I took a drawing created in 2016 and rendered it successfully in 2017. So I can render '17 drawings in '16 and  render '16 drawings in '17.

Hi @AMestern,

 

Strange behavior! Can you attach one drawing of each version so I can try it?  Also, does the AutoCAD 2017 fail if you render on the Cloud?

 

[Edit] The solutin was to clean up missing "Assets" which included a variety of materials and textures. (Some from SketchUp but we don't know if those were to blame in part). Next @AMestern cleaned up a nested block that had some complicated hatches in it. Once it was removed, rendering happened properly

John: I have sent a couple of dropbox links. The files are quite large didn't know if they would attach, although I am happy to share my messy work.

Hi,

 

>> File size is 8.24G

Filesize 8GB and memory built in your system also 8GB ... that can't work :cara_guiñando_un_ojo:

In case the filesize is 8MB then please upload it if possible so we can check on our systems if we crash too.

 

>> Windows version is what? Enterprise

Windows 7 Enterprise, or 8 Enterprise, or 8.1... or 10...

I went through the entire drawing piece by piece. I removed all of the materials, exploded all of the blocks.- None of that mattered.

What I found was one object inside the drawing I had imported from a library of objects. It was a 'Picasso painting', it was a 2D object that was a painting made up of a block within a block and several layers of solid and standard ISO hatching. As soon as I deleted the 2D painting from my drawing I was able to render it quickly in 2017. Kudos to John Vellek for stepping me through cleaning up the drawing and looking for a corruption.
