Limits to QCAD before it crashes
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2014 12:01 pm
Hello all,
My QCAD (3.4.6 PRO) running on Windows 7 (SP1, 64 Bit, 4 GB RAM) crashes rather frequently. This mostly happens when I am moving large amounts of objects or even a few Hatches around in the drawing.
Is QCAD not meant for this stuff?
For example, in order to have the borders of structural objects shown above the hatches (which are used to color code them), I tried cut+pasting them so the draw order would be later and the lines would show on the hatch and not vice versa. Image linking did not work although there is a URL option above! If you care, it is on tinypic.com/r/14mx9pt/8
However simply 'cutting with reference' 448 entities (each of which is the same block) causes my QCAD to crash. And also crash so bad that it can't manage an Autosave or remember it crashed the last time when it restarts
Am I pushing my luck using this software or is there hope? The performance monitor I ran during the last crash showed I was on 50% Memory usage (but 112% frequency) if that helps.
Appreciate any help. Thank you, kind people.
