Help needed urgently

[steved]

I have a number of parts that were created pre V11 that are now unworkable, a sample of which is attached, the problem relate to the multiple extrusion which appears to be un-editable after creation.

Cheers

I should also add that I have had several failed attemts to recreate this extrusion today, i dont know why as it used to work ok.

Cheers

Hi Steve,

It works without problems, please have a look.

Alibre V11.1

I went through each one step and edited with no problems. :?:

Hi Ralph

Are you saying that you can regenerate the feature without problems ? Alibre freezes every time for me.

Cheers

Steve

 

[steved]

Any suggestions

Cheers

Steve - I confirm some strange behaviour. Initially looked OK, but on trying to edit E5 Alibre took up one whole core and stopped responding. Had to kill the process.

Hi Steve,
I have try it with my Laptop T61p:
AV Antivir
Vista 32 bit
2 x 2.2 GHz
4GB RAM

IfI regenerate the S12 sketch (F5) , it takes ~ 8 seconds.

Glad it's not just me I have been seven hours on this today.

Cheers

Steve - just tried on my alternate PC (XP 64, dual core, 8GB RAM) same problem.

It may be subtle, but there is a problem.

 

[NateLiquidGravity]

Like I said no problem for me. A little lag but it worked.
XP Pro 32 Bit SP3
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+
2.70 GHz
2 GB RAM

Hi Ralph

That sounds about right although when it works ok it can sometime be quicker on my system.

Cheers

Now I have tried it with our slowest computer:
iMac
XP SP3
AV Antivir
2 x 2 GHz
1,5 GB RAM
ATI X 1600

freezing since minutes with CPU usage 2 x 50%... :roll:

 

[indesign]

So does it only freeze on 32bit systems? Multi-cores?

It seems to freeze on my XP.
3x33%


XP Pro SP3
AMD Phenom 8750
triple core
2.4 ghz
2gb ram

 

[steved]

I sent the file to support and they had the same problem with the file becoming non responsive, looks like I will have to dust down my copy of ACAD until the problem is resolved. :shock:

Cheers

In sketch S12 delete the mirrored holes.

Now F5 works.

Edit sketch and replace mirrored holes.

Now F5 works.

Something on those mirrored holes appear to be causing it but very strange that only some systems are effected.

EDIT: tried a second time and it did not work. :?

Now F5 works.

Been there tried that one and many others all with the same result.

I didn't have any issues with it. Just thinking...that's a heck of a lot of mirror ops in s12....perhaps it just isn't happy with all of those?
EDIT - nevermind....I just tried mirroring a group and noticed that it's the same way...individual copies/mirrors.
The FEATURE Mirror works pretty good tho for the group.

Freezes on both my AMD64 3800x2 XP Pro(32bit) SP3 3GB, Nvidia 7600GS (128MB), & on my AMD64 5600x2 XP Pro64 8GB , Nvidia 8600GT(256MB).

Haven't tried on my laptop.

I didn't have any issues with it. Just thinking...that's a heck of a lot of symmetric ops in s12....perhaps it just isn't happy with all of those?

Thats what I was thinking too. Perhaps you can reduce the number of holes to only one half (or one quarter) and do a mirror feature to get the other side(s).
