Error message "File size reached"

The message File size reached indicates that the volume of data to be created by the hidden line calculation is too large. Complex 3D smart symbols may be the reason for this.

Note: The same applies for the Shadow and Animation modules.

The easiest way to import these data anyway is to increase the file size.

To increase the file size

1. Exit Allplan.
2. Start the Services application.
3. On the Service menu, click Hotline Tools, select docsize and click OK to confirm.

   The program proposes the current setting.

4. If your computer has enough memory, you can increase this value manually. All entries are in megabyte.

   For example:

   Default setting Optimum (normal utilization) Maximum

   document size of 256 MB document size of 512 MB document size of 1024 MB

Note: You are advised to set as great a value as possible for very large data or complex data, making sure the computer uses a swap file to set up the data for animation.

Note: If increasing the file size does not have any effect, you need to reduce the amount of data for hidden line calculations. For example, reduce the number of selected drawing files per calculation or generate the final image based on drawing files with hidden line images of portions of the model.
