I've been out for quite some time due to trainings and on-site supports. Most of the technical supports I get lately is the "Out of Memory" issue of AutoCAD Civil 3D.
Based on what I've seen so far, it is either the hardware has memory issues or the drawing file itself has some complications of sorts. It is easy to pinpoint if the issue is the hardware limitations. Just get the client to see the current RAM or graphics card capacity of the machine, open the Task Manager then patiently explain how their box is utilizing the memory. However, if the machine specs are good and yet the "out of memory" messages still pops up whenever they open, save or do just about simple tasks, it is another story.
I find it really hard to tell end-users how to do-away with unnecessary objects in their drawings to minimize the file size and avoid memory errors. They always point out that it's been their workflow eversince and they can't afford to change it at the moment. Most are pessimistic to changes that can bring permanent benefits in the end. And as an Applications Engineer I get frustrated sometimes.
Anyhow, here are some links I have gathered for those who are open to changes and best practices. Feel free to just read or better yet apply them to reap unending benefits...wink!wink!
