![]() ![]() ![]() Yesterday I decided to tax it as much as I could, and the result was interesting. Before yesterday it had been running regular Sierra, and exhibiting the same symptoms as the Mac Pro. The rendering issue is still as described above for my Mac Pro running macOS Sierra, however the MacBook Pro now running High Sierra is behaving differently since updating the OS yesterday morning. Hopefully this post will help others with the same problem, and I'll try to provide as much info as I can. I know that makes troubleshooting hard, and I've run into this roadblock before with my organization, but unfortunately that's the way it is. I'll ask, but usually the answer is a knee-jerk no. I work for Mattel, who will not allow us to send files to others, though I may be able to send the system profiles. Anyone else experiencing this problem? While I'v learned to monitor the situation and work around it, it's very frustrating and needs a solve ASAP. I upgraded the laptop from Sierra to High Sierra this morning to see if that would solve the issue, but it persists. VW apparently is never releasing, which I think is referred to as a virtual memory leak. ![]() My understanding is that an application uses this virtual memory while it is running a process and is supposed to release it when done. It climbs with each render until it gets around 35 GB and then it pauses and I get the message. I've been monitoring application memory usage in Activity Monitor while rendering, and sure enough, VW is consuming memory and never letting go. The only remedy is to quit and restart VW. When rendering (doing anything really, but rendering is the main culprit) I eventually reach a point where the application pauses and I get a message stating that "Your system has run out of application memory". I have this same issue running Vectorworks 2018 SP2 on both machines. MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) w/ 16 GB RAM running macOS High Sierra Mac Pro (Mid 2010) w/ 16 GB RAM running macOS Sierra & I'm running interchangeably between two systems: ![]()
