Map Editor Crashes with large DXF

[jacksonlord]

As the Map Editor is processing a large dxf of contours, it crashes unexpectedly around 25% complete, and closes without any error. I have successfully added a dxf file which is a much smaller subset of the larger contour map (clipped), and it was imported fine. So I'm assuming this is a bug which occurs on large files only?

Using version 10.0.0.306

I suspect something else could be wrong; I just loaded a 47 MB DXF file with no problems at all. Map contains 1,139,318 points in 1589 lines. Is your DXF file much larger than this?

[jacksonlord]

My DXF file is about 55 MB, and I’m not sure how many points and lines it has, but it was generated from a shapefile with 3922 lines then converted to a DXF_R2004 in ArcMap.

I have made some tests now, and I think it might have to do with lines that contain more than about 32k points. I'll have to ask the developer of the Map Editor for more details now.

i just loaded a 135mb dxf file. it wasn't so fast but works perfectly.
