Out of Memory CS5

Jan 4, 2011 9:34 PM

I have a technical drawing of a floor plan that I want to rotate using 3D, but keep getting out of memory errors. It's not overly complex (floor plan), and I'm on a MacPro 2.66Ghz machine with 6GB of memory and 400 GB free on my Hard Drive (my scratch disk). The drawing is fairly large (blueprint size), but even if I reduce it to and 8.5 x 11 size I still get the memory messages (not enough to complete the task.) I'm using the latest version of CS5 on Snow Leopard. I've read there was some issues with out of memory on machines with more than 4GB of RAM, but thought this was solved with the 15.01 update. So is this just my machine not having enough power to do this or is something else going on?

 

I need to stack a bunch of floor plans on a single sheet and rotating and using perspective under 3D would help (unless there is another way)

    Try this, set the document raster effects to 72 ppi.

     

    By the way I have the same mac with 17 GB of memory and have not encounter this problem with AI CS 5 even before the update.

    I would suggest you get another internal hard drive and use that or a partition of it as your scratch disk

    You could jsut use tried and trusted iso-drawing techniques (skew, rotate, skew)? Otehr than that in CS5 pretty much any item can be stuck to the perspective grid... I sure hope this gives you some ideas....

    Wade -- still getting the "not enough memory error" even with the raster effects set to 72 dpi (and right after a restart as well). I'll look into the hard drive as well.

     

    Mylenium -- have the plans already drawn so I suppose I could try to skew using the perspective grid, but had hoped to use a feature that would do some of the work for me.

     

    So still searching for a solution
