wnschoen Posted Tuesday at 06:54 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:54 PM I've been using Chief for 25 year and know the ins and outs, so please no peanut gallery comments - BUT is anyone experiencing a lag in Chief 18? Just in simple things, like opening dialogue boxes, adjusting a dimension, etc. I'm not talking about rendering or elevations. Just daily use. I have a support ticket in, but I have not had the time to spend troubleshooting. I'm just curious if anyone else has a 'Chief Architect x18 is Slow/Lagging' comment? Thanks! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted Tuesday at 07:44 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:44 PM YES!!! For me the lag comes with typing text and navigating dialog boxes. A couple of hours max before a restart is required. It is TERRIBLE Everything with the model and rendering is pretty much as fast as I'd want it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValleyGuy Posted Tuesday at 08:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:09 PM This is definitely not the case with me, X18 is waaaay faster than X17!! I think pretty much all of the working tools are all way faster, especially the library! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted Tuesday at 09:19 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:19 PM (edited) i find i need to reboot every once in awhile, but even then, that does not always work for some plans. I have seen the same behaviour as Robert, typing text, and opening dialogs is slow ..and I have auto build framing always off ..and i close PBR windows to try and speed things up Edited Tuesday at 10:22 PM by SHCanada2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted Tuesday at 11:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:24 PM I experience lots of lag when navigating dialogue boxes. Especially the wall dialogue box. If I click on "attic wall" or "no locate" or "no room definition" X18 lags for a good solid 15 seconds sometimes. I use both PC and Mac and I've really noticed it on the Mac. I'm surprised someone down voted you for asking if Chief lagged for anyone else. I hope we can figure this out. I recently came across a post on Facebook where another Mac user complained of plans becoming unnavigable. I currently have one plan that I can only work on on my PC. It just freezes on my Mac. I sent it to Chief and they said it worked fine on their end. I'll dig a little deeper to see if it's something I'm causing or not. Good Luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffsCris Posted Wednesday at 02:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:04 PM The only lag I have seen recently is when I pull up the material builder. It's not usually a feature I use, but we're in slow season so I have extra time to play around and make plans look fancier than usual. There were issues with the Library Browser on the earlier versions but those were fixed for me. Are you on the latest version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
