Out of Memory. Not enough memory
to perform the operation requested.
Such memory messages indicate that
the available RAM is limited. Adobe
Illustrator stores a duplicate of your art-
work in RAM that it reverts to if you
choose the Undo command. The more
Undo Levels set in the General Prefer-
ences dialog box, the more RAM is
needed to save the information. How-
ever, the program has to duplicate only
those objects being edited, so you may
be able to work on individual objects or
smaller groups of objects. Editing many
objects simultaneously may result in the
information exceeding the available
RAM.
To allocate more memory to a specific
operation:
1
Close any open documents and quit
any open applications that you do not
need.
2 Select a smaller number of objects
to modify.
