zowie123 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi, I thought it was just this huge plan I was working on, so I started a new one, created a building section, added a couple of cad details from the library and the slowness started again.. I know Chief has never been cad detail friendly..I was hoping they'd fix that issue about 12 years ago, but still suffering the slow cad detail syndrome. In this case it's only a couple of details and when I delete them, it's still slow. Computer is a monster, but I can hear it bogging down something is weird. I did a restart. Why would a couple of details create this issue. Is there a way to simplify them. I tried exploding and re-blocking, didn't do anything. Thank you, Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Round Stair railings, bad symbols from Sketchup, etc. can cause slowdowns, Post the plan and see if we also experience the slowdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 My slow down occurs when I am toggling between sheets in LAYOUT. If I go from a sheet with a floor plan to a sheet with a framing plan, no worries, but when I move on to a sheet with elevations or sections, it always takes about 10-15 seconds for that sheet to show.

Peter_S Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi Barry Same here Only noticed it in the last couple of days, after program update. I came here today looking for solutions, but this may be a program issue. The worst is after adjusting material definitions. the program hangs for about a minute just over two minutes while apparently updating views or other data. That's even when that material is only used in this one view. Yes, moving between layout pages has also slowed down Any clues? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_S Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I found that closing the layout and working on the elevations directly from the plan (project browser) virtually eliminated the issue. The plan is ~80MB and the Layout is 25 A3 pages with a total of 25 pages containing 7 plan views and 29 elevations. I hope that helps someone find a cause, fix or workaround.

ShaneK Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I was thinking it was me and my impatiences. Same here and I actually was thinking I need to jazz up the performance of my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_Morrison Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Have you turned off automatic updating for those views in Layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneK Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I have no "Auto" anything set in CA, on demand for layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGump Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Thank god I am not the only one experiencing this stupid cr@p. It has been driving me nuts that I get these slow downs in certain situations involving elevations and layouts and section views etc. It has been very frustrating to try and pin down. Andy.

HumbleChief Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Right now is a GREAT time to report this stuff to tech support over and over again because X9 is in Beta and one of things every new release tries to include is speed increases and bug fixes. Strange thing is I'm not experiencing any of those slow downs. I have other issues like slow to a crawl PDF's but there doesn't seem to be a fix.

DRAWZILLA Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I haven't seen any of that yet, but willing to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_S Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Have you turned off automatic updating for those views in Layout? Yes, tried that and it made no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly_K Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Peter are you using any 3d columns in your schedules? That has been a slow-down for me in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
