Really Slow Updates from Obj Info Window


Nik

Recommended Posts

Hey,

Vectorworks 2009 is taking forever to update drawings when I change info in the Obj Info Window. I'm talking minutes to change the Circuit Name on half a dozen fixtures. My drawing is linked to an XML file for LW exchange. I'm running Mac Snow Leopard.

The show is medium sized about 450 items per LW.

Any thoughts?

First, there were a lot of changes in 2010 to help speed up the data exchange.

But for 2009 make sure the data exchange file is updating and valid. If VW determines that it's not valid or can't find it VW will automatically do a complete export every time you make an edit. Also in 2009 instruments with accessories will slow down updating. If you are refreshing data coming form LW select an instrument then run refresh instruments.
