 Topic: Render Fatal Error
Posted: 17.Dec.2013 at 18:27 |
 In r-14 when I render more the once I get a fatal error. I
have reloaded Acad and also changed system. But I get the same effect. I have
just upgraded from r-2000i. I can save the drawing and convert it to my r-2000i
and then render it in 2000i no problem.
I have created 4 drawings in the r-14 and they all act the
same. I do have a simple square drawing that works fine unless I fillet the
edges.

rs: There was a Release 14, also known as r14, that came out in 1997. I'm pretty sure you did not upgrade from 2000i (released in 2000) to r14 (1997). I'm betting you are using AutoCAD 2014. Am I right?
OK...so you get a fatal error during the process of rendering a drawing and the only thing that you think is causing the problem is the fact that you filleted the edges of a box. We are talking a 3D box with a material applied right?

I just happen to be running 2014 so I drew a 3D solid box (6x6x6), filleted the top edges (all four), applied a birch - solid stain dark no gloss material, used the default lighting setting and did a "render region" of just the box and no error was encountered.
What are the particulars of your box/material/lights? I'll try to replicate what you are doing.

yes you are correct I am using the 2014 not r-14 I was using Acad2000i and still
have it on another system. I have a problem rendering anything more then twice
if the object that I'm rendering is much larger then a CUBE or has more features
then just the basic shape.
Note: That I have one drawing that has over 300 parts drawn
in it that will render in acad2000i fine and will render in 2014 once then not
again until you restart 2014.
Both system are the same and the programs have swapped
between the systems to see if this would help. Both systems are new and have
windows 7 with service pack1 installed on them. I sure that the problem is not
with the systems mem. or ram. I'm new to this forum and do not know how to attach a pic of the system info.

Use the Full Reply Editor (should be an icon for it to the right of the text Colour icon). Then use the Image Attach button.
Did you experience any problems during the installation of 2014?
Did you temporarily disable the UAC?
Did you temporarily disable your anti-virus program?
Do you have full admin rights to your own computer?
Did you try resetting your Profile?
I hope you did not try an uninstall / reinstall.

Hmmmm.
Well you could try the REPAIR option.
What's the file size of this drawing with 300 objects?

Thanks for your help.
