Christiaan Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Is there actually any use to the "Display viewport cache" option? Is there any reason why you might *not* like to display the viewport cache? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yes, there are rare times when it is more convenient not to. But most times I agree with you. I think the default should be ON (instead of OFF as it is now). Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yes, there are rare times when it is more convenient not to. I'll take your word for it. But most times I agree with you. I think the default should be ON (instead of OFF as it is now). Agreed, crazy default setting. What would also really useful is if VW remembered the user's preference indefinitely (for a whole bunch of settings). Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I once tried to work with the option off for the reason to get the file size down. I was wrong doing this. You then have to re-render viewports that where finished days ago and weren't affected by the changes you made in the meantime. You don't have a clear view on what each viewport shows when just opening the drawing. .... Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 On the other hand, I don't know how to purge the viewports so that I can send a file and have it not be massive. I wish the viewport cache was set to "always on". Quote Link to comment

I wish the viewport cache was set to "always on". I think a solution to the file size when sending could be some sort of command that clears the viewport cache? So that it's always on and that the user needs to clean the cache when they want it and need it. Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yes, or as I wished a post or two ago, to have the viewports render to a separate file. That way they could be included, albeit separately, or not included. It also gives the user the ability to open the viewport in a different program (illustrator, photoshop) and work over the top of them. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I wish the viewport cache was set to "always on". I've submitted this as a bug. For the love of god the amount of times I've lost a render because of this setting!! Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Gone! As of v2017 SP2 Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I use it OFF by default. When I use Viewports, they have that fancy out of date candy line all the time anyway. Quote Link to comment

If you're using v2017 then you can't help but use it off by default because the option is completely gone Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Interesting. Is it really (permanently) OFF now ? Or ON ? Quote Link to comment
