X18 - Slow Library

[JKEdmo]

Switched over to X18 and noticed I often get the blue spinny Windows "circle of lag" when I try to drag and drop a Library Browser item into my plan.  Don't remember this in X17.  Any fix for this?  I think this was brought up in a previous thread, but couldn't find it.

 

 

Thanks again,

 

Jim

Hello Jim,

 

Something that may make a difference is if you have an antivirus program with real-time protection. Since Chief Architect Premier X18.exe is a new program, it may not be in the list of exclusions (whitelist), and you can try adding it, then restarting your computer.

 

Here are some other questions / things to experiment with:

 

Does it happen only for the first selection in a program session? This can take a lot longer as the library browser is initializing.

Are you using Project Management?

Does it happen the same for items from the core catalogs V.S. your user catalog?

Does it happen even with the preview panel hidden?

Is your current plan template particularly complicated?

Have you cleaned your Temp directory recently?

It looks like I was responding to your post pre-edit. If searching is slow, here are some more troubleshooting options:

 

* Does turning off Include Web Results help? (the top-right icon)

* Is your System Library Database Folder on a slower / network drive?

I'm noticing that everything is slow. And in the NVIDIA Control Panel, I can't add Chief X18 to the program list.

I had no speed issues with the Beta versions.
