Andy Broomell Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Mine takes much longer than 2015 as well. I'd guess 2015 takes 15-20 seconds, while 2016 often takes a minute or two. Quote Link to comment
J-Zeus Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 About 45 seconds Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted December 15, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 15, 2015 This is an SSD MacBook or standard HDD? The same slowness occurred right after installation when launching it, or this is after adding object libraries , etc? Quote Link to comment
J-Zeus Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hi Jim It's on a SSD Macbook, and was like this from the beginning. I later installed the object libraries - and that made no difference. I just timed it with a stopwatch and it takes 60 seconds. thanks Quote Link to comment
Art V Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Not sure if it is the same on a Mac as on my Windows machine... when I first started using VW2016 it was noticeably slower at startup than 2015. However, if VW2016 was closed and then opened again later on the day it was opening much faster to the extent that it was even a little faster than VW2015. For me it is only the first time start-up of VW2016 that is noticeably slower, subsequent start-ups during the day (provided the computer has not been restarted) are faster. It still beats AutoCAD start-up by a mile, so you won't hear me complain. :-) Edited December 17, 2015 by Art V Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted December 17, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 17, 2015 Generally if its not because of anything migrated in, its user account related. You can TRY creating a new admin user account and launching from there, but even if that does reduce the speed, the gains are probably not worth the trouble of bringing everything over from your normal account: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/805/Creating+a+New+User+Account+%28Mac+OS+X%29 Quote Link to comment
