Has anyone had experience with HUGE LDraw files or MPD files (thousands of
parts)? What are the effects? Do they crash some programs, or make them
unusably slow? Just curious.

Thanks!

What are you trying to view the file with?  MLCAD has a hard time when the
files get too big even if it is a file with multiple-sub models.  Forget
about LDView it will hog up memory like crazy trying to turn the model.

As with most large files, the limitation is generally not the program but
the amount of memory on your system and the size limit on your virtual memory.

(...) I've got 512MB of RAM and when I run MLCad with some of my big files I make sure that NOTHING else (including background apps) are running. -AHui (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
