We've been having an issue after changing to VW 2017 in which our sheet layer views are super slow, and I've gone through the troubleshooting guide for such issues but with little success.
For me it's bad but not too bad, but my coworker's computer is incredibly slow. Her computer has the same specs as mine, but with a 2.9GHz processor.
We're using Vectorworks for kitchen drawings, so everything is in 2D, but we also use a lot of images for appliances and veneers. We have our sheet layers set up for 9 sheets per layer (so 9 titleblocks, and up to 9 pages worth of viewports) which definitely doesn't help, and we could change this if we need to.
The thing that seems to be causing the slowness is the drawing labels. We've opened files that have only viewports and titleblocks that run fairly smoothly, but start lagging as soon as we start adding drawing labels. Is there a reason this might be the case? Has anyone else experienced this and found a good solution?
