Limits for GDI Objects and User Objects

The registry in Microsoft Windows establishes limits for the number of “GDI object” and “user object” handles per process on your computer. If you start to approach these limits while using a Synthesis desktop application, the following message will be displayed:

You are approaching the limit for 'available memory,' 'GDI objects' and/or 'user objects' on your computer. Please close some projects, diagrams, folios or other applications and try again.

In most cases, you can simply close some windows that you’re not actively using and continue to use the Synthesis application.

However, if you need to perform an action that requires more handles than the current limits on your computer (e.g., a BlockSim/RENO simulation with a very large number of blocks or subdiagrams), you may also need to increase the limits in the Windows registry before proceeding. You can use the instructions provided by Microsoft (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724291%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) or contact ReliaSoft technical support for assistance. Note that you will need to have administrator rights on your computer and will need to restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
