    What did Autodesk support say? I believe that they have access to support with their license level. You should definitely check with the software vendor, as they are more likely to have seen similar issues than Dell support.

    I have not called them yet. What I will probably do tomorrow, if they do have support, which would make sense, is call them and work with them before I call Dell back. If Autodesk can't help me fix it then I move on back to Dell. Like I said, I did try a repair and reset. Only thing I haven't done is a full rip and reinstall.

    Autodesk certainly has support. This is a major industry software company. This is THE CAD maker.

    @Dashrender While true, it's both a funding problem and a hardware limitation on what I have to work with. With that said however, I have disproven the fact that it is a dynamic memory problem as the data translation uses all 16GB of RAM while running the job but as soon as it's done, allocation drops substantially without the OS even knowing the difference. Also, running a second translation job this time using an iSCSI LUN that I setup on my new Synology NAS (just a small 10GB LUN to store and write data to as part of this test) is running much faster than with the local storage, but I'm using consumer level drives in the host machine as opposed to WD Reds in the Synology NAS. It's a very noticeable difference.
