How do I set Mastercam to be able to completely view a large file that's over 3 1/2MB

Help?

 

How do I set Mastercam to be able to completely view a large file that's over 3 1/2MB?

This file won't completely come up on the screen when "all levels" are turned on.

There is a lot of surfacing in this drawing.

I have to disable a few levels (surfacing) or the program will bomb

(apparently over some kind of file size limit)

 

I tried uping the values in the "screen", "configuration" menu

but it does not seem to help.

Is there another menu area for setting up larger file limits?

 

Thanks to anyone responding.

If you've got a 3.5 Mb Mastercam file, make sure your 'Database Allocation' under Screen/Config/Allocations is at least 4Mb (or 4000 Kb). That should be the only thing you need to worry about (I'm going to assume your computer has a goodly amount RAM - at least 128Mb). If you want you can Zip up the file and E-Mail it to me ([email protected]) so that I can see if there's anything inherently wrong with the file
