Sorry. I mean the rounding is set to 1, as with all my dimensions

On some dimensions only 1 decimal point is shown, like the 2nd image attached. The Metric Value should be [0.91m] but shows [0.9m]. Rounding settings, as with all my dimension, are blank. Anybody know why?

Thanks. My external hard drive automatically syncs to Google MyDrive.

Hi Pat, I finally solved the problem...you're right in the first place! I created a new folder in the same folder as the VW file and set it as the autosave location. Now the saves only take about 2 seconds. All I have to do is move these files to an external hard drive at the end of the day which in turn are saved to a cloud. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Pat, Just one more thing. Since I don't use 3D I try to draw everything on Screen Plane. However once in the while I notice that it has switched to Layer Plane. I don't know how it happened. Maybe you can advice me on that too? Thanks.

Hi Pat, In fact saving to the internal hard drive takes about the same amount of time. The file is 34mb. Too big to email to lavectorworks@coviana.com. Will Dropbox work? File name: For Pat Stanford.vwx. Thanks. Sid

Hi Pat, Thanks again for your reply. "...where are you saving to?..." *** To an external hard drive in USB port "...image into your title block..." *** Only 2 images: 244kb & 63kb. No other images in the file. "...Image Fills, Textures, HDR backgrounds..." *** No renderings at all "...File size..." 40mb; 36mb after purging items per attached parameters Autosave takes about 30 seconds. Is it reasonable?

Hello. I don't do any 3D with VW2017, only 2D. Everything is done on Sheet layers in Top/Plan. I do, however, frequently use the wall tool to create objects (I find it easy to manipulate) and I always try to set the walls height to 0. While the auto backup only took 3 to 4 seconds in many previous years, For couple of years now it takes about 40 seconds to complete the backup. Any suggestions how to make it go faster as before? On the other hand, Does the wall tool matter? If so, what would be the solution? Thanks!
