Can't open ASM over 2GB

If I want to open an asembly project, which over 2GB, ProE do something
until ~2,2 GB and after that close himself.
My laptop have 2GB memory.

As I succeed it open once, there were some Problems. After chosing
suppress, ProE close once again himself.

With regards,
Piotr.

 

a guess... an inherent 32bit barrier, either within your OS
or - worse - in ProE? This has been discussed here earlier;
even on a since-1996-64-bit-OS there was something like this.

As mentioned, it is a win32 problem. In WinXP there's a /3Gb switch or
something like that, and a patch you need to apply to Pro.
google this group for in detail responses previously about this issue.

PTC also has tech help on this matter if you have current maintainence

 

Hello all,

Stu and Walter, you're right. There is a technical documentation about
that : TPI 111330.
I can't add it here, but you can contact Technical support for more
informations, or visualise this TPI on our web page
(www.ptc.com/support/support.htm).
However, this TPI refer to a Microsoft tech doc, as it's a Microsoft
issue. So you can make you search in this way if you have not got an
active maintenance account.

Good Luck !

The best thing to do in these cases, it's to manage the assembly with
simplified representations. You may open sub assemblies and simplify it
with the simplified representation functionality. Then you top level
assembly will be lighter and you will probably be able to open it. In
all cases, even with /3gb switch, Windows 32 bits is not designed to
handle processes wich takes more than 2 Gb in memory.
