IDW save as DWG crashes

IDW save as DWG crashes

IDW save as DWG crashes

(OP)
I have a strange situation. When I do a save as on my 32-bit system, from IDW to DWG it crashes. However, when I do it on my 64-bit systems, it works. The IDW file size is only 7MB. Any ideas? BTW, I have tried this on 32-bit systems with and without the /3GB switch varible set, both crash.

32-bit system:
Windows XP Pro SP3
P4 3.0Ghz / 4GB RAM

64-bit system:
Windows XP Pro SP3
P4 3.0 / 8GB RAM

Thanks,
Andy

version of Inventor?
Have you applied all applicable hotfixes and service packs?
any embedded objects like excel tables/images,etc...?

Sorry, I am using Inventor 2010 SP1. There are no special excel spreadsheets or bmp links or anything fancy. My IAM is really just a simple frame made of tubing and plates. The drawing has (1) base view, (1) ISO view and (2) projected views with some ballooning and dimensions.

Time to contact Autodesk support and provide them your files for examination. Its impossible to guess without seeing your files.
