Running out of memory in 3D mode (7.0 M020)

[ptc-248027]

I'm fresh with Isodraw and need your help! Some of my Pro-E CAD files/assemblies are too big to load directly into Isodraw (CADprocess 7.0 M020, XP pro, 2GB RAM). In order to open them I need to pre-save them as productview ed/edz. Still I'm at >1.9GB and I'm forced to convert sub-assy by sub-assy into illustrations before I re-assemble them in illustration mode. Time-consuming!.. My question is if someone has tried to run Isodraw 7.0 M020 in 64-bit environment (Win XP pro or Vista)? If so, how did it go? Any other work-around? Just an idea, why not allow Pro-E to save directly in Isodraw 3D format?

Distribution kit Arbortext IsoDraw includes a plug-in "proe2iso" for integration with Pro/ENGINEER (for versions WF4, WF5). The description of installation of a plug-in is in a file "isod-proe2iso.pdf", also it can be found here ("Arbortext ProE2Iso User's Guide"): https://www.ptc.com/view?im_dbkey=95619

After installing, in the main menu in Pro/E there will be added "IsoDraw" toolbar, which allows you to directly save in ISO format.
