Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted July 8, 2003 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 8, 2003 Chris, if this is a document corruption, you may be able to solve it by transferring the data to another document. 1. Open a blank document. Set it up to have the same layers as your old doc. 2. Import the "System folder" from your old document to your new one. This will transfer your plant library. 3. Copy and paste the layers one by one to the new document. See if you see the slowdown. Quote Link to comment
pch Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 All, I am using VW-Landmark version 10.1.0 and the response time is horribly slow. I'm new to VWL and this is my first drawing so I'm sure it is possible that with all my mistakes in the learning process that I may have corrupted some control file that VWL uses which may be causing the delayed response. Here are some specifics: Plant Styles are NOT being used. 3D is NOT being used. Workstation specifics: AMD XP 1.5GHZ Windows XP 752mb of memory The simplest actions result in a long delay. For example attempting the following actions: 1) change an attribute of an object 2) edit a gradient 3) duplicate a gradient result in an "hour glass" symbol being returned and VW being unresponsive for aaprox 90-120 seconds. Eventually the "hour glass" is gone the action is completed and I can move on with my next action. As you can imagine 2 minutes per action is completely unreasonable and makes the software rather useless at this point. The drawing is not complex. About 10 vegetation lines and about 10 different plants. I recently purchased VWL and for everything that I can see thus far I really like the product. I am hopeful that my many mistakes have somehow corrupted a control file that is causing such a delay in an action being completed. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
pch Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 Robert, Thank You ! The file was evidently corrupted. Copying the layers as you described took care of the problem. Chris Quote Link to comment
