File Size

Is there a way to increase intelliCAD capacity to deal with dwg's that increase to more than 2.5Mb?

Comments

  • our company deals with drawings larger than 2.5meg all the time with no problems. In fact i have been working in a drawing that is 9.4 meg with no real problem. Other than the bugs in the program.

  • i added comments on performance tuning in the readme. Current development code is faster(paperspace is no longer slower than modelspace). There will be more performance improvements, and also more help to work faster. Eg, tools to easily freeze layers.It's not just a filesize issue. I have a 17mb drawing that is easy to work with.regards, sander

  • Here are important tips on tuning performance:Sorting of selection sets has changed. Since there is no DRAWORDER table yet, DRAWORDER can only be controlled through the handle order. If the first bit of the SORTENTS system variable is set , copying entities respects the order of the handles, so DRAWORDER is preserved. But caution, for large selection sets it can be very slow.Other ways to tune performance are turning off flyover snapping (system variable OSMODE) and flyover hyperlinks (system variable hyperlinkoptions). PaperSpace is also slow. The code to fix this is done, but not yet included in this version. In IntelliCAD explorer there are also two new buttons that allow to delay automatic regeneration of the display when a lot of layers are being edited.regards, sander
