Wow 2000 parts now there you problem try not to make big models
make them smaller or divided that models in to 8 dat or ldr files
of 250 parts each so that way windows 98 SE can work with out
pain is a crapy os I don't recomember to anyone 9x or ME I will
not go back to them for nothing and if I have to only win95.

What OS are you using? How much memory? I've seen *huge* models (>10000
parts) work fine in MLcad, so I doubt thats the problem.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Memory, ummm (the machine is at home), I think
64M with a spare gig . But it is a 3 year-old laptop so that means it's
probably a bit light on everything (CPU, memory, disk), but it is sufficient
for most of my normal home computing activities (Age of Empires!).

Given that MLCAD was fine to begin with and gradually worsened over time
(even placing a single brick was going very slowly by the end), that is why
I suspected that it was the size of my model (currently at 2000 parts and
not even half finished) that might be the problem.

I don't think the problem is memory leakage, as you would expect rebooting
the machine and restarting the application to solve that problem (at least
short-term). Whereas when I restarted MLCAD, it was fine until I reloaded my
model, whereupon it went immediately ga-ga again.

I can open the model on my computer at work with no problems, but it is a
more powerful beast. Which tends to support the theory that it is my laptop
that is the limitation. However, I can't take my work computer home to do my
MLCADing :-(

Although my laptop is not a high performance machine, it is still probably
comparable to many home PCs, so that is why I wondered if other people have
experienced a similar problem or know of some workaround.

(...) Bosh. Win98 is perfectly fine for this kind of thing; MLCad worked just fine for me for large models with a similar piece count and RAM size. It was a little slow, but it worked just fine. That being said, it looks like Michael has found the (...) (22 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I run WinME (on AMD Tbird 1.4, 512MB DDR) and I've had a couple of DATs with many thousands of parts not LEGO models, I was using MLCad to redesign my living room on a 1 stud to 1 inch scale!), and never had a problem with it.
