BenPalmer Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have found printing in X7 very slow. Any others getting this? Suggestions? So far happening on multiple computers and multiple projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief58 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Ben I haven't seen that when plotting plan or printing 11x17 prints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Not for me. It is just as fast as x6. Are you printing to pdf or direct printing out of the program? I am only printing to pdf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenPalmer Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 The delay happens between clicking the print icon and the preview showing up. I'll do a quick count for printing a simple floor plan view: Click print icon: 4 seconds until I get the spinning circle, another 12 seconds staring at the spinning circle until print view shows up, and another 3 seconds until the preview actually shows for a total of 19 seconds until I can print to anything (pdf or printer). Then I click print on the preview and it's 4 seconds until I get the spinning circle, and another 4 seconds until it prints and I can use chief again. total time from click print until I can use chief again is 27 seconds. Sounds short when I think of seconds, but feels like an eternity when I'm putting togehter about 6 sheets at 30 seconds each totalling 3 minutes to put a print job together that should take 30 seconds total. I get this on my other computer as well. I have the latest video and print drivers. Computer specs: i7 3.5ghz 16 gb Ram 8.1 64bit GTX760 4gb ram Open to suggestions for things to try differently to speed this up. I have changed the printer with no change...not to mention it takes about 10 seconds to open the 'Drawing Sheet Setup' dbx. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 yep, Ben that's about what I'm getting also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBeck Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have found printing in X7 very slow. We have been working on a fix for this issue, but it didn't make it into the pubic beta release. Printing should be much faster in the official release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug_Park Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 painful... Just and FYI. This is a very old thread and I think the issue Ben had has long since been resolved in the currently shipping version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenPalmer Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yes, printing of the typical items are much faster, and no issues. However, somewhat off topic, would love to see the printing of 'rendering techniques' speed up dramatically. That is just as painful as the time frames listed above. Seems like it renders 3 times before it will finally print instead a screen grab which is what 'print image' does, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyc Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 guess im the only one then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yes, chief has fixed it a long time ago for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 There appears to be an update in windows that is causing all printing from ANY programme to be delayed on some systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 You have a good system too. This shouldn't happen. Are you using windows 7,8, 10 ? I see you have 8.1, me too. I have noticed it's still a little slow at times, at least not as fast as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
