Hi Guys, This has happened to me once before and now it is much more painful. I have very complex and large file that has seemed to convert every part in the file to facets, losing all the properties and interactivity options. So my question is... What would cause such a thing? I will have to spend quite a bit of time to re-draw this project. Thank you, Steve

Hi Guys, I have been limping by on an older box for a bit but finally built a new one. I think I have asked this before but wanted to see if it got any easier since v9. Can I transfer all my settings to a new computer without having to re-enter all my (40ish) hot key assignments and open catalogs? The hot-key is more important. I have saved the xml files from the ironCAD10 application Data folder, do these have that info? Thank you! PS Now that i have my new box, i will finally be able to submit renderings!!!

This stuff is great! I would love to see some "advanced renderings" documentation released along these lines. I moaned and moaned about the getting the new rendering enhancements, and now that they are here I realize how much I have to learn. Nice work guys.

Hmmpf! Well I am still having memory issues after all that. Anyone want to try out of my files and see how they handle on your setup? Steve

PROBLEM SOLVED! WOW, so since it was not software related i tore in to hardware issues. So I thought what else has changes in the last few weeks. I got two new flatscreens to work on was first on the list. I am working on a dell2405 and a viewsonic 19"widescreen. So here is the short version... My 6800 GT is DVI/VGA not dual DVI so when running 2 CRT monitors I just used the vga adapter and ran them both analog. Now when i hooked up my new monitors I ran the dell on analog (VGA) and the viewsonic on digital (DVI) and saw no immediate issues... or did I? Come to find out that running one monitor in digital makes it the priority, and sends digital signals. I use IronCAD on the 24" and since it is a secondary device now there must be some kind of memory allocation issue. i figured this out by moving IronCAD over to the small monitor ... no issues then. To solve this, i just am running both in analog again and now issues is gone. Hmm Thanks for the support and ideas. I am happy it was not IronCAD.. really. Has anyone ever had this issue? Time to buy a dual DVI Vid card for me

Ok so I completely removed IronCAD from my computer and reinstalled it with no avail. I can still not have more then one file open at a time. H E L P

Thank you for all the suggestions guys. Unfortunately, I am already inline with all of these avenues. The only thing I can do now is completely re-install; just soo busy

I will try all of the above.

See this post My other post that has many views but no response. This is completely killing my workflow. I need to be able to juggle multiple files and sometimes even take skins from one to another with dropper. Not being able to use two or more at a time makes me wonder if we are going backwards or forward? Do tell. Yes i have 3gb switch. yes I have enough RAM (4gb) yes i have good Proc (dualcore AMD 4600) yes I have good VPU (6800GT) Only difference in the last few weeks, is that I finally (against my will) had to upgrade to V9 and update that. Now I constantly crash and have to reboot.. SUPER SWEET GUYS THX!

Yes, I am using that right now, but I do not use my machine for IronCAD alone. I am satisfied with the performance I am getting now, I am currently running AMD64 x2 4800, SLY 7600'sa and 4gb of dar400 RAM. in our workstations. We use them for graphic design and IronCAD. I have just been putting off building our new "Vista ready" workstations until I get the OK from Cary and the team at IC. Microsoft has been working out the permissions and drivers for Vista via beta releases for well over a year and that is the only reason I have have posted here multiple times about a "Vista" timeline. Adobe CS3 will be released very soon and it is built to take advantage of multiple cores and 64 bit processing. I know that IronCAD does not have to engineering staff or budget (like Adobe) to reinvent the wheel, but I have received the same reply for over a year "We are looking into it" Don't get me wrong, I love IronCAD. I have been one of the biggest IronCAD cheerleaders in our "very large" company user network. I just get scared of every version release. We have experienced new, even worse issues that are unrelated the the original fixes in the last release and PU1. These issues are things that slow down our company and can cause mistakes which cost money. No, I am not talking about a hotkey issue . In the end I guess I just want it all, but obviously that is not an option. But having things work the way they are designed to, without having to pay for another release to fix them sounds logical. Steve

Any idea when it will be a priority? I first asked about this over a year ago. Solidworks Vectorworks I am not as interested in the 64bit as I am in the memory capabilities.

Well we have finally arrived at true 64 bit processing and the capability to utilize more then 2gb or ram. Please tell me that IronCAd is ready to announce the vista ready hotfix Anyone...

I guess these would be best directed to Cary... 1. Vista is getting closer and closer and I was hoping to see some news about making IC compatible with 64bit processing. --I know I asked this question last year, but I'm back again. 2. Rendering engine integration?

Hi Steve

Thank you for the quick response I have already built the boxes and am just benchmarking and tuning them today. they were built just for designing in IronCAD as we are expanding our design Dept. My reason for asking is because I wanted to DL the 64beta from MS and start getting everything tuned in with it. Please keep me posted on the upcoming status of IC in 64 because i will definitely bee upgrading to vista on drop date (if software allows it) Here are the specs of the boxes I built, seem to be pretty strong so far. A8N-Sli Premium AMD 64 X2 4800 4GB OCZ platinum DualChannel 2x SATAII WesternDigital 250GB XFX 6800GS (only one for now) CoolerMaster Purepower 450w PSU\ CoolerMaster Centurion ATX AC Thanks

I am building some new boxes and was thinking about installing xp64 until vista comes out to take advantage to the 4gb's of RAM. The question is... is IronCAD ready for 64bit operating systems? THX

I am having issues after I export. I get an error message when trying to open the .pdf about file being corrupt.
