What is the maximum file size that General Cadd can handle?
I received an Autocad file, approximately 131 meg is size.

When I attempted to load the file, a note flashed to the screen that stated "out of memory" and then this:
Html:
Microsoft Visual c++ RunTime needs to terminate in a unusual way.
See the application support team for more information.
General Cadd has stopped working.
Collecting data 
I do not know what data was collected -- the system quit responding. NO RESPONSE --> system off/on.

I am using GCP9+
3.1 gHZ CPU speed, with 4 gig of memory, running under Win7.

If the memory constraint is 128 MB, that is ok with me.
I will continue to rent AutoCad for the professional size files.
[Rent is probably not the best word to use: I use a consultants AutoCad system to split the DWG & DXF files into manageable pieces on my generic cad system. I pay a small hourly rate (during the off normal business hours) for the use of his system.]

It's just a guess that the limits might occur at 32mb, 64mb, 128mb

This forum's search utility could use an upgrade.

What is the max file size GCP9 can handle?

It looks like the core issue here is how big of a DWG file can we convert. Since we use a DWG conversion library - I'll have to find out if there are any limits on that system.
Let me do a little research...

Rook -- I don't know about AutoCAD (not a "player" on my side of the street), but I have created seriously GB-sized GXD's without a problem. I have a 4 GB file that uses more than 3000 layers.
