The current project has run into this much more quickly than I expected from past experience.
I have had to redo models, and the latest is that I have to redo the entire 76 line BOM from scratch, re-ordering everything per the item numbers, because the previous one apparently got corrupted from the ML issue. It now has undeletable columns, and data sitting outside the boundary of the format, etc, etc.
If you cannot fix it, AT LEAST HAVE ALIBRE WARN THAT MEMORY IS GETTING LOW.
Ideally warn that "the selected operation cannot be completed due to low memory", so we can cancel it and not "blow up the world" in terms of unrecoverably messing up the model.
I only found out when a dimensioning operation in 2D drawing became un-deletable and unfixable. Then I found out about the BOM. I had the entire model open as well, and I surely hope I do not have to redo the entire thing, with multi-hundreds of parts.
I am very very tired of redoing hours of work due to this "minor problem" which has existed for at least 6 or 8 years.
Yes, I have 16gig of memory.... all the stuff fits fine until memory is "hogged" by Alibre.
