Cant save, command in progress error.
Cant save, command in progress error.
(OP)
I have been getting this lately. It tells me that there is a command in progress so I cant save, but I know there is no command in progress. It happens mainly when doing 3D rendering or messing with material settings. Anyone ever get this? The only way I can save what I m working on I to wait for the auto save and go grab that file. I tried save, save as, export, and e-transmit with no luck. TIA

RE: Cant save, command in progress error.
Sounds like you need to upgrade your graphics card and RAM. Provided you bought your machine this year, the speed and processor should be ok. And look into your bus speed too. most machines are 100. The new slick ones can have a 200 bus speed.
AutoCAD gives you the message due to the emense mathematical calculations you are requiring your machine to do in its memory. The rendering and mapping requires AutoCAD to do a lot of math.
Don't invest your money in some cheap software which claims to double your memory. They don't work.
Hope this helps!

I run a Matrox G450 with only 1 monitor, 1 GB of RAM and P-III 866 and have no video problems. My freind purchased a ludicrously expensive 128MB card and had to revert back to more mundane cards due to incompatibility problems. When you get into cards like that that I think you need a system that is purpose built for that card. I am inclined to think perhaps you have a driver problem, perhaps your card was shipped with an out of date or non-heidi compatible driver. I would suggest contacting Matrox in case this is a known technical issue. Vendors do ship faulty cards, I remember using an Oxygen card at work that caused lots of trouble and we traced the problem to a missing heat sink on the card. Perhaps your G450 is bad. Also check your installation disk, I needed help to get mine working properly due to a double set of drivers I had inadvertently installed.
