Matthias Sch. Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I really like the fact, that changes to "Devices DB" do not require a restart of VW any more 🙂 Thanks for that!  But now, it seems the Device Builder loads the file every time it is displayed. I measured it a few times, and it always took about 3.5 to 4.5 seconds from clicking with the tool until the window is shown. Since this is every time I used the tool, it get's a bit protracted when inserting lots of devices with this tool. It looks like it loads and parses the list every time the window is shown. Maybe some kind of cache would be cool (based on file change timestamp)? Or a button to reload the files in ConnectCAD setting (like for connectors and signal types)?  No Test-File needed. Steps to reproduce: - Open a new document based on ConnectCAD Metric template - Select "Device Builder" tool - Click at the document ... you see the delay then.  Tested on: Latest MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15.6, 8x 2.4G i9, 64GB RAM, VW2021 INTL.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted September 24, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hello @Matthias Sch., Â This should happen only once in the VW session and then we should have cached device DB. What happens when you close the Device Builder the first time and then click to open it again? Does it still takes much time to load? Â Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment
Matthias Sch. Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hello @Nikolay Zhelyazkov, Yes - It does this always, not only the first time. Okay. Tested again: The initial one takes about 4-5s, and the others about 3-4. And also when switching from Category "User-Defined" to "<All>". If there is a cache after the first run, and I assume you do not reload the whole file when a category is changed, maybe it's the propagation of the "Make/Model" list?
