Slow to move drawing views

Nov 21, 2003 7 Replies

As I try to move drawing views around on the sheet, the move verrrrrry slooowwww. I'm running an Athlon 2600 on a FIC AT31 mobo with built in Radeon 32 MB video. Does anyone know of a way to speed up this problem? Or do I have to beg for a new computer?

You might try getting a CAD graphics card. Check the SW site on graphics cards, Radeons make decent paper weights.

...and there are a bunch of settings in tools options that affect performance such as

-show contents while dragging

-smooth dynamic motion of drawing view

-draft or high quality

-optimize edge length

-image quality

I have a pdf that points out settings that have an effect on speed or file size:

go to Rules of Thumb, then Tools Options doc.

Also, there have been complaints about this being abnormally slow in 2004 SP1.0. Does that describe your situation?

I'd still recommend a workstation graphics card though. I would consider a

43MB Radeon as barely useful for doing the turorial, mainly because of the multiple windows limitation, but also because of driver issues.

Yes, I had seen these complaints too. I really noticed it just now as I was finishing up a large mold. After a few minutes everything just slows down to a crawl.

I reported it and as you probably already guessed they came back with it is your video card. My reply....Hmmm it works fine with 2003 and oh yeah by the way I am using a certified SW driver. I now have a SPR which is supposed to make it into the next SP.
