AndyBard Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Do flat plan symbols take up loads of processing power? I have a plan on A3 with aprox a third of the plan taken up with plant symbols.There are quite a few layers. VW is now very slow, esp when rendering The computer I use has 1.25ghz power PCG4 1GB DDR SDRAM. Is it just that I have a slow mac or have I done/ not done something to lower the file size. I think the file size is a 100mb. Not sure. Thanks Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Launch Activity Monitor.app > com 1 > CPU Usage then launch VW and watch what happens ... see if there are any hangs ... with your set-up and that file size there shouldn't be any processor issues. Quote Link to comment
AndyBard Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 I tried as you said islandmon, and while opening VW was fine the thing went mad when i went to open up my big file. I have now delated all symbols from it and its still 67mb. Plus i have noticed after adjusting what classes are visable VW says it needs to re render the scene, even though the scene was rendered beforehand. When i skip this and the image sorts itself out (class wise) the scale jumps to 1:1, even though when I started out the drawing was done in 1:50. Any ideas? Thanks? Quote Link to comment
