Viewport render time / Publish

[Sam_UK]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone is able to shine light on an issue I have or if it is just VWs.

I have set of planning drawings that I am trying to publish. the set publish fine apart form the elevations sheet. I have done it thought the cloud, with it taking 15 hours last time.

 

The elevations are Bitmaps as apos to viewports as I hade hopped this would speed things up, sorry to say it has not helped. (I'm I correct that a bitmap should speed publishing up?)

Any help on how I can speed this up would be appreciated.

It sounds like you have answered your own question… something is likely wrong with the way the bitmaps are being used.  Without more information and an example file, it’s a guessing game as to what is wrong.

I was trying it without bitmaps but that was taking long as well.
Are bitmaps supposed to be quicker?

My guess is that you have the Update Viewports option selected in the Publish command.  So it doesn't matter if you have already made bitmaps, the update of the viewports will still take as long.

 

If the above is not the case, then it sounds like something else is wrong. and as Jeff says, without a file to look at it is all guesses.
