Benjamin Weill Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Is anyone else finding Spotlight's Focus Point Tool to be unbearably slow in 2015? Anything that I have to do with a focus point - placing/renaming/moving around - causes the program to stop and think about it for about 15-25 seconds before completing the task. And this time is Increased is I'm trying to do anything to more than one focus point at a time, like trying to grid-nudge 5 points upstage 2 feet. I can initiate the move, then go get a drink, and hopefully it's complete when I return. Everything else in the program is as quick and responsive as it's ever been. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment
TJG Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I am having the same problem. Driving me nuts! If anyone knows of a solution, I'd be most grateful. Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 19, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 19, 2015 I rigged up a test file with 150 lighting devices and a few focus points, I am able to move or switch out the focus points and the operations complete in under 2 to 3 seconds, I am not seeing a delay. Could one or all of you please send me a file you are seeing this slowness in? I can take a closer look. Tech@vectorworks.net , please include a link back to this thread in the email for easier tracking. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 19, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 19, 2015 Disregard, confirmed with engineering that the lag is related to viewports that contain the lighting devices and that a bug has been filed. Thank you. Quote Link to comment

Brendan Gray Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hopefully this bug gets fixed soon. It's really messing up my workflow on some projects right now. I've resorted to deleting viewports on some shows where I I need to do a lot of focus point manipulation, but that means they have to be re-created, which is a major waste of time. I have repeating annual events with many sheet layers and many viewports. Quote Link to comment
pjveltri Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Do you have any updates on this bug? Can we expect a fix for v2015 or is this somethign that won't be fixed until 2016? Quote Link to comment
Benjamin Weill Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 I don't even mind waiting for 2016 for a fix. It's not that far off. But waiting until 2017.....that'll be irritating. Quote Link to comment
