Crashes when trying to view large gcode files #42

Open MrRocketman opened 11 years ago

MrRocketman commented 11 years ago

I am trying to preview the gcode for a 120MB gcode file (4.25 million lines). Unfortunately, Repetier-Host crashes when I try to view the gcode.

I have a 2011 iMac with 12GB RAM. While loading I watched the available RAM drop from about 4GB to around 2GB before it crashed if that is helpful at all.

Here is the crash report: http://wiki.mrrocketman.com/images/e/e3/Repetier-Host_Crash_Report.txt And here is the file I was trying to view: http://wiki.mrrocketman.com/images/f/f0/Yoda-figure_Large_.gcode

Let me know if any more information will be helpful to track this down.

Please try disabling antialiasing and set filament preview to simple, so that you only see lines. Perhaps the graphic card run out of memory, then this should help quite a bit. I have the same mac. If you can upload the file to some web storage, I could try to run it on my mac and perhaps say more. But my guess is, that some memory limit was reached, and the host did not catch the failed resource allocation.
