skeyser Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 There is an apparent memory leak when exiting (some?) nested symbols. requiring a 5-10 second wait to regen. This is new to VW9. Am I imagining this? ANY FIXES? Quote Link to comment
skeyser Posted April 17, 2001 Author Share Posted April 17, 2001 I thought I should add a little info since I have not received a response: VW 9 seems to have a crippling problem: When our existing files are translated over to VW9 and we enter a symbol to edit it then try to exit the symbol the computer pauses, regenerating?, for as much as 15 seconds before returning to the main file. This is like an eternity if you use symbols much. It takes less time to save the file than to exit a symbol, it seems like glitch. The files are large (6-8mb) mostly single scale, multi-layer, multi-class files with with hundreds of user-created simple symbols, many nested 2, 3 & 4 symbols deep. The files are being tested on a G4 450mz with 256mb ram, with Vectorworks memory allocation at 160mb. I haven't been able to duplicate the glitch in a small new file but have tested a variety of our large existing files all with similar results. Has anyone who has translated files from 8.5.x found a similar problem? Quote Link to comment
doug shaffer Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 I, too, have experienced similar pauses when opening existing (8.5.2) VW files with VW9. I hope this gets fixed soon. ------------------ d. s h a f f e r a r c h i t e c t Quote Link to comment
