Hi



After drawing a 200X200 rectangle in an empty illustrator doc. and apply "Fill-RGB" sand style over the rectangle. Then, bang : There is not enough memory available for process the apparence of the object. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> Nice, I have OS 10.2.4 and 1.5GB of RAM Plus, terminal give me about 800Mb free, and illustrator was taking 80Mb <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />



Re-boot in OS 9. Give illustrator 999Mb allocation. Same error. Try re-install illustrator. same thing. I've try upgrade illustrator to 10.0.3, try OS 10.1.5, 10.2, 10.2.1, other partition, extension disable, rhum baccardi, pref trash, another baccardi. Nothing work ! Sh*t it's a 200 pixel per 200... I'll take another baccardi :cool:



Someone has any idea ? :confused: <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" />

    He's our self-proclaimed vector-junky. Our resident Illustrator expert, if you will.

    Okay, I just fired up Illustrator 10 on my box running 10.2.4 with 1.5GB, drew a 200x200 pixel square and did RGB fills it with every style I have going (I don't seem to have the sand one for some reason...): absolutely no problem: no quits, no panics, no distressing dialogue boxes, just a nice filled square.



    Not much help, I'm afraid... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    Are you applying the bitmap filter or the vector-based filter?



    Illustrator 10 has some very nasty problems dealing with some bitmap graphics.

    No. Vector style over vector rectangle in an empty document (exept of course, the rectangle) <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    Edit :

    I've just re-open illustrator, create an empty doc, draw a big rectangle like 200x200, 356X180 (the result is the same), apply the style and bang : the memory error msg is there !

    This might be a long shot....have you set your scratch disks to partitions that are relatively empty? Or even a GB or so of space? If you've only got one partition (Startup Disk) is it pretty full? That's all I can think of that might cause that message (barring RAM).

    I've just bought a new WD caviar 160GB and I have 80GB free... I *hope* it's not because the lack of free space <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> <img src="graemlins/cancer.gif" border="0" alt="[cancer]" /> Anyway, I never allow free space to go under 10% of total HD space for prevent this kind of problem.
