Increasing the Memory Limit

Until V10 the limit of the amount of memory that could be used by BricsCAD was around 1.6 GB. In V11 or higher this limit has been increased to 4 GB on 64 bit systems and 3 GB on 32 bit systems. On 32 bit systems additional manual changes to the boot process are required.

On a 32 bit Windows Vista or Windows 7 system do the following:

1. Click the Start button ()on the left hand side of the Windows task bar.
2. Type command in the Windows Start Search field, then press Enter.

The Administrator Command Prompt window opens.
