VW12 architect soooooooooooo Slooooooow

[BAZ]

We have upgraded the entire office in the last week to VW12 architect. Were using the basic version of 11 but the fudamentals upgrade choice was not sufficent for our needs.

While a lot of the features are welcome there appears to be a problem with some of the stations speed. We are guessing that the output from our staff at these stations has dropped 25% due to the slow nature of VW12.

eg. performing a cut from one drawing and paste in place into another drawing (with not a lot of items selected)the user counted 14 seconds watching the timer icon until it completed the task.

This might not sound like a lot but over the course of a days work can add up. We are operating over a network but it is the same when working on a drg on the desktop

The PC is relatively new and the spec is as follows:

Windows XP 2002 intel® Xeon 2.8 Ghz with 1 GB Ram

Anybody else having this issue

we are running a 3 station network

with the slowest PC running 3.0Ghz, winxp sp2 with 1 gb RAM

and there is not slow down as you mention

we have been using it for 6 months

you may need to check out the Vectorworks preferences on the slow computers.

things like vectorcaching and 2d accelaration

there was no mention of the specs of the slow computers

and settings of VW and WinXP virtual memory settings
