ate for 2D drawings and makes more efficient use of memory without

loss of performance

TREEMAX

Limits memory consumption during drawing regeneration by limiting the

number of nodes in the spatial index (oct-tree).

10000000Initial value:

By imposing a fixed limit with TREEMAX, you can load drawings created on

systems with more memory than your system and with a larger

TREEDEPTH

(page 1519) than your system can handle. These drawings, if left unchecked,

have an oct-tree large enough to eventually consume more memory than is

available to your computer. TREEMAX also provides a safeguard against

experimentation with inappropriately high

TREEDEPTH (page 1519) values.

The initial default for TREEMAX is 10000000 (10 million), a value high enough

to effectively disable TREEMAX as a control for

TREEDEPTH (page 1519). The

value to which you should set TREEMAX depends on your system's available

RAM. You get about 15,000 oct-tree nodes per megabyte of RAM.

If you want an oct-tree to use up to, but no more than, 2 megabytes of RAM,

set TREEMAX to 30000 (2 x 15,000). If the program runs out of memory

allocating oct-tree nodes, restart, set TREEMAX to a smaller number, and try

loading the drawing again.

The program might occasionally run into the limit you set with TREEMAX.

Follow the resulting prompt instructions. Your ability to increase TREEMAX

depends on your computer's available memory.
