Discovery / SpaceClaim 2025 R1 – issue with saving, infinite .stride file

      when trying to save an existing and working design (inside workbench),

      the SC says saving, but gets stuck.

      in the background, space in C drive is slowly running out - From 250 GB free to 0 in about 1 minute.

      in Temp/1 directory a .stride file appears and is growing in size until space runs out.

      spaceclaim remains freezed until shut down via task manager. .stride file is removed after computer restarts.

      Tried Discovery, same issue. help me solve this problem.

      Sometimes, when working with large assemblies in SpaceClaim, you may experience slowness. In such cases, try the following steps:
      1.  Select all bodies in your design.
      2.  Press Ctrl + C to copy all bodies.
      3.  Go to File → New → Design to create a new session.
      4.  Press Ctrl + V to paste all bodies into the new session.
      5.  Check the performance in this new session.
      Other possible causes of slowness include having too many unnecessary components in your assembly. To improve performance:
      •  Delete unnecessary components and keep only the required ones.
      •  Increase the autosave interval from the default 15 minutes to around 4 hours. You can change this under File → SpaceClaim Options → Support Files.
      •  Reduce the number of undo steps by going to File → SpaceClaim Options → Advanced.

       

      Thanks,
