      Hello everybody

      I have a peculiar problem. On my desktop computer (Intel Core2 Duo 1.83 Ghz, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8800GT with 512 MB DDR3 RAM) it is not possible to export an image (as 2D Graphics export) higher than 4000 pixels even with a simple file. But at the same time on my Laptop (which is only a Celeron 1.3 Ghz, 768 MB DDR2 RAM, ATI graphics with 64 MB shared memory) it is possible to export upto 5000 pixels - but not beyond that. In both the cases the JPEG quality was at the highest and anti-aliasing turned on.

      Any clue as to what is happening? I have the SU6 & SU7 free versions on both the machines.

      Thanks in advance
      With best regards

        Are you exporting with AA on?

          Thank you thomthom, yes, I am exporting with AA on. Which AA do you mean? On the export menu or do you mean whether I have my AA turned on in OpenGL? In fact both are turned on.

            The export AA. I was just wondering if it was on on one computer but not the other.
            Do you need it on though? The export can be done much higher with it off. And faster.

              Thank you very much thomthom, it is now working fine even beyond 7000 pixels and is really much, much faster. Yes, the AA was on in both the machines.

                The image size possible with AA on seems to vary quite a lot, and no one yet has given a definitive explanation - it seems to vary according to processor, memory, graphics card, OS, and maybe, the phase of the moon.
