Hello,
We have some dwg files (an example is available on the following link: http://www.azimut.fr/charge/map_problem.dwg ) that can't be opened using Bentley Map V8i Select series 2 (french version 08.11.07.450).
Ram Memory used by the process increases more and more (>1,5 Go) and finally Map crashes.
We tested Map PowerView, Standalone, for Microstation and Enterprise. All these softwares produce the same result.
On the other hand Microstation V8i (08.11.07.446) and PowerDraft V8i are just working fine.
How can we solve this problem?
Thanks for help

Thanks Carlos, it's working now (see my response to Jeff).
Best regards,
Hello Jerry,
You are right, it's not a specific drawing for Bentley Map. But we use often Map for simple CAD purposes, surveying and civil, sometimes for real GIS projects. That's why we chose Map vs PowerDraft or Microstation, for its interoperability.
Thanks
Hi Jean-Claude,Make sure the configuration variable is set as below
Workspace > Configuration > New
Exit Map and start a new session
Regards,Carlos
Thank you a lot for the explanation, it seems clearer to me why memory usage increases with Map, even if this big difference against MS surprises me.
I apologize, after checking defined MS_GEOXFM_NO_DYNAMICSCOREDFEATURES config variable, it appeas that I misspellt it (missing last S). Map is now running as you described, similarly to a CAD session. Thanks again for bringing this to light.
Last question: I don't find most of MS_GEOXFM_xxxx config variables description in map chm helpfile. Isn't there a "glossary" to download?
Regards
Also what is the purpose of using this drawing in Bentley Map ? The example file had a lot of information contained in it, that I would suspect is not needed for Bentley Map ( lots of detail information). Is there a way to separate this out ?
You may want to contact technical support and have this reported. Please explain to them, as you have done here, the OS, memory, file sizes, and how many files you are working with at one time.
Thanks !
