Geometry import problem(s)

Hallbeck

Hi!
I'm having a bit of a headace importing 3d models from our mechanic design team. See the detailed error description below. The only error I can find in the description is "Error : Translation aborted due to out of memory allocation problem" which appears a few times. Is this memory allocation problem hardware or software related?
Im running RS5.15 on win7(32bit) enterprise on a computer with specs that meet and go way beyond the minimum requirements for RS5.15

Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!

David

Hi David,

What's the size of the CAD-model? The CAD-converter error message indicates there is a problem with memory allocation. Do you have access to a PC with Windows 7 or 8 64-bit version? Then you can use the 64-bit version of RS that has better support for large CAD-models since it can address more memory.

Hi!
The cad model is no bigger than 51Mb.
According to our IT guys a 64bit OS is what will happen if we cannot find any other solution...
