capitaldesigns Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I was sent a survey plan drawn in AutoCAD. I converted it into a .plan format. The file size is large and hard to work with. Is there a way to reduce the file size ? When I click on a line get a long delay before I can do anything. Thanks, Mike Site Plan.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hi Mike, It is actually not that bad on my machine, ( which is getting outdated ). What are you running ? Unfortunately Chief does not handle AutoCad files very well. So replace anything you can with Chief content or maybe try turning off layers that are not in use. If that does not work it might be time for a new computer. I have a test file right now with one PDF and some imported CAD contour lines, but not as many as yours and it is much slower than your file. 6-7 seconds to select a contour line which is not even a contour line but a Standard Polyline like yours.

Do you have an SSD ? Perhaps you have other stuff running or even shutting down and restating may help or a M$ update running in the background maybe.

imodel Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Plan seems to run fine on my machine which is really old! But file size is a bit large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imodel Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Is your issue is when you select a contour it has a stupid long delay? It is temporary dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitaldesigns Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Your right. Turning off temporary dimension greatly speeded everything up. I did not know temporary dimensions took so much processing power, Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
