Hugo Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I am having serious trouble with the files I am exporting from VW2008 to Autocad (different versions). The files leave Autocad almost unusable by periods, with long delays between model and paperspace. I have removed lots of info (hatches, images, etc) in order to make them lighter, but the problem happens in lots of computers. This didn't happen with VW 12 and now my work is almost incompatible with other offices. What can be the cause of this? Any recommendations? All are 2D plans and elevations or sections. Thank U.

islandmon Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 leave Autocad almost unusable by periods, with long delays between model and paperspace...but the problem happens in lots of computers. Yep .. this is a direct result of the inverse of Moore's Law: If the number of logic gates doubles every 18 month, then the execution of code is reduced by 66% during that cycle. Hence the inevitable slow downs. The faster & more powerful your computer the longer it takes to execute. In fact, Hugo, you may be reaching the entropic state when the world's fastest computers take forever to execute a DWG import ; ) Quote Link to comment
Hugo Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Update: If I remove all hatches, the thing speeds up noticeably, but there is still a long delay when switching from paperspace to model in Acad 2008. It also happens in Acad 2004 and in other PCs. Quote Link to comment
Hugo Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 I have tried a lot of things and definitely VW2008 has a problem. The same files exported to 12.5 and exported to DWG from there work without problems. VW2008 (in both Mac and Win) is adding extra complexity to the DWG file that Autocad can?t deal with.

Guest Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Send the VW file along with the export options, version of AutoCAD specs, and the DWG file(s) exported to bugsubmit@nemetschek.net Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Can one restore the export options post factum? Quote Link to comment
Hugo Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 I already sent the info Katie. Hope we will find an answer... The problem happens all the time regardless the exporting options. It simply disappears if I export to 12.5 and there export the DWG file. Quote Link to comment
