ACCESS VIOLATION ERROR |
|
|
Hey out there!
I'm using AutoCAD R14, and lately I've been having problems saving my
drawings. Sometimes I'll get an "Access Violation" error message.
AutoCAD says it can not continue, but it offers me the opportunity to
save my work. This is good, but the only problem is; when I reopen the
file and recover the drawing, things are sometimes missing! It may be a
line, or several lines, text, blocks, it's different each time.
Anyone have an idea as to what may be causing this?
Thanks

Yes, AutoCAD has a reputation for doing this. Especially in R14 using true-type fonts. other possible causes:
too many xrefs
too many proxy entities
too many blocks
too much "crap" in the drawing.
Sounds like to me that you're dawring needs cleanup. Chyeck you xrefs and make sure you you don't have any cirulcar references. then save. then purge everything. then save. then close ACAD. open it up again, type recover and pick your DWG. let the system recover itself even if there are no errors. This helps get rid of all of the "garbage" |

It is hard to see from here what the problem is but the usual checkups
should be performed. An access violation means autoCAD is trying to use
memory that is not allocated for it. It can be caused by virtually anything!
Run a disk cleanup to clear temp files. You should also go to the temp
folder (location depends on Windows ver) and clean it out. Disk clean up
won't clear AutoCAD left over files (close all apps before hand!). Run a
scandisk/error checking on your hard drive.
Be sure ISAVEPERCENT is set to 0. AutoDesk should have dumped this "feature"
years ago.
If you experience crashing in other programs, it could be memory (memory
faults typically result in bluescreens and reboots). I'd get Memtest86 and
scan it anyway. Also scan for viruses and spyware.
If you are using up physical memory, the machine can become less stable and
slow. After working in a file for awhile, type status and see how much free
physical memory is left. If you are dipping into the double digits, it is
time to add some memory.
If you use xrefs common to several drawings, it could be a problem with one
of the xrefs. Audit each one.

A persistent Autocad glitch, I can't tell what causes it save to say I
can force any Autocad version to do this by merely editing hatch areas
through a viewport. If nothing else, it makes the salesperson sit up
and take notice when I announce what I intend to do, then do it..

You wouldn't happen to be using a US-English copy of R14 on a
foreign-language windows system would you?
Do you get ACIS error messages?

No, I am using english language versions in Australia. Is that a
foreign language?
The glitch has persisted since I first found viewports back in release
12, and all versions since. The seller of 2005 showing us the new
features was dismayed when I showed him how easy it was to 'crash' the
program.
