Big file print problem - new machine

Lucas Richards
Offline

Hello,

When I try to plot a long sheet of paper my MicroStation crashes. I used to plot this all the time and then we updated my machine and now I cant figure this out. Other people in the office can print it on the same setup of machine (version, same comp. specs, etc..) (pdf) so it is possible. This happens with all of my big plots now and I don't know what to check or what to do. All the fonts look good, no missing references, and the imagery looks great. Nothing about the file has changed but this new rebuild of my computer doesn't want to spit out a print.

If there is any other information needed I'll be happy to let you know.

Computer specs:

Xeon 3.5Ghz

16.GB ram

QuadroK2200 Video Card

MicroStation Version: 08.11.09.908 but doesn't work on any version, (multiple versions have been tried)

Thank you so much,

Lucas

    We found that in the "Help", "About", "System Info" - the "Page File Space" memory should match the amount of memory physically installed in the computer.

    For some reason my "Page File Space" was set too low. Now that it is set to how much RAM that is installed as seen in the screenshot above it prints.

    Thanks to everyone that read and responded!

    P.S. - does anyone know what the note is about in the second screenshot? it reads "NOTE: Unable to use all of the memory in your system because current user does not have "Lock Pages in Memory" Privilege."
