Super cool @markdd

The muscle memory bit is hard to shake & I do have a preferred placement for the view bar and would love the flexibility to put it where I want it.

So. here's one auto cad group (that's how it imported). It represents one ROBE lighting fixture. It's comprised of over 32,000 line segments. It's one of a couple of hundred similarly made objects, - that's just the Lighting objects, I haven't yet checked the architectural elements. The drawing can't be navigated without the BBD spinning relentlessly and stopping all progress. At 12.5 MB, the file is tiny, yet unnavigable. This file could not be loaded by AutoDesk's online viewer - it failed to load, so there's that. The question is: when these poorly made files are received, how best to actually use them? So far, a very painfully exported PDF makes navigating the drawing a smidge better, but still somewhat beach-ball-y, and no access to contained data. thanks 32,000plus segments.vwx

Just gonna say I have seen this happen with imported auto cad blocks. It may be that they've been scaled instances in auto cad

as a last-ditch option (which I use semi-frequently) this link https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf will allow one free compression a day, with great results, in my experience. If I did more than the occasional compression, I'd consider subscribing. Also-I have never needed to use their offer of super high compression, the default always brings the pdf way way down in size without losing much quality at all.

@VIRTUALENVIRONS—For my team and me: spectacularly well. Simple, quick and easy, gorgeous. Yay That team at NBoC did a tremendous job. Grateful.

@VIRTUALENVIRONS—Great CV!

Or save a copy as… & make sure your autosave is set

this is the way

This issue has been driving me insane for years. IMO, when I enter symbol edit mode, no matter DL or SL or RM, they should all 1-click me to symbol edit mode.

It['s breathtaking to me that I have to EXIT SL, then enter DL, THEN enter symbol edit mode if I don't want things to go haywire. Backing out to DL then Symbol Edit mode is extremely frustrating.

I depend on the redshift renderer in RW. Make it faster / better, do not deprecate.

So that's the thing with mono-spaced fonts, they mostly take up much more space. Some variants might offer a 'compressed' version. Maybe look over here as a starting point.

All fixed width fonts on my MBP show a version ion both your lower case 'I' and your lower case 'l' Andale Mono Monaco Menlo SF Mono are all available on my machine - however I DID cheat and use Font Book.App😃

definitely not alone in this regard

This also applies to multiple drawings open, near as I can tell. I render thru renderworks alot. The shared memory pool is where I missed the bus

Hello @Darcy—I bought a MBP M1 Max, 32 GB ram. he mistake I made was the 32 GB ram. I should have gotten the 64GB ram option, this due to my renderworks needs. 2D drawing, you're probably fine with 32GB, but things sloooow way down on big render

I'd really like to be able to justify right/left , up/down the toolsets in their containers

@VIRTUALENVIRONS—gorgeous

@VIRTUALENVIRONS: look here for 5V Geodesic definition

word

In Apple apps like Pages and Numbers, there's a keystroke for that: command+option+shift+V. Works a charm!

Simplest way to ease the render load for previewing is to make sheet layers with Raster Rendering DPI set low, I use 56 dpi. How that affects your high detail setting I do not know.

@bjoerka Ouch. Sorry to hear that

VWX 2023 SP latest. MBP M1 Max 32GB ram. Never experienced this glitch before Yepper, re-starting VWX now, hoping for the best.
