No more memory is available error

Issue

When you tried to open or save a drawing in Inventor 2010 you may receive the following error message :

No more memory is available - attempt to allocate xx bytes of memory failed

The value of xx varies (sometimes it is 12, sometimes 24 etc.)

Solution

This issue is related to the projected geometry in drawing sketch. After deleting the projected geometry in the drawing sketch you will able to open/save the drawing without any error.

Instead of using projected geometry in drawing sketch you can use the below steps:

1. In the assembly document, create one or more assembly sketches
2. Project relevant edges in the assembly sketch
3. In the drawing, include the assembly sketch in the view by using the context menu Get model sketches
4. You can also use Include work features in the drawing view for the components. In the drawing browser browse to the view, Right click on the component in the view and select Include work features.
5. Base your centerlines on the included assembly sketch geometry (this normally would not require any additional projection in the drawing environment)
