Understood, and you can open multiple instances of any program, but once you start working on heavy files, that usage will start increasing. The recommended amount of RAM for Microstation is 2GB. If you check your task manager (Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to get to it) while these programs are running, 99% of the time they'll be using less than 250MB each of RAM.įor example: I have 3 instances of microstation running, each with their own file loaded, and the total RAM usage right now for the 3 instances is 58MB.
These minimum requirements are not cumulative but total system memory recommendations.

How many other drawings do you have open? What are you doing when this problem occurs?ĭoes it happen when using a specific command? At this point, all we can do is guess and thow out options hoping that maybe one of them will solve the problem. Just saying " i'm using the program then it stops working can anyone tell me what the problem is" is like taking your car to the mechanic and saying " I'm driving my car then it stops running, what's the problem?" There is no easy way to diagnose the problem unless we know exactly what's happening. I have adjusted the title of this thread accordingly.Īs for the problem you are experiencing, you need to tell us as much information as you possibly can regarding what is happening. If you use the correct terminology, you may get more replies. And you're not using Autocad 10, you're using Autocad 2010, there is a huge difference.
