Speed of Lisp in ICAD
Hello,i would like ask somebody for consultation about writing larger applications for ICAD.We have developed application for AutoCAD, and we are trying to transfare it to ICAD. But we found one general problem. ICAD works very slow with list of many items - hundreds, thousands. E.g. use "append", "nth", "length", functions takes very long time comparing to AutoCAD.Does somebody experiences with this problem?Thanks a lot for replayLukas Pavlis

We recently switched to a new CAD computer hardware platform standard in our consulting electrical engineering office. The old standard CAD PC's were P-3 1-ghz CPU with Oxygen-3D x1 32mb video card and 512mb 133mhz sd-ram, ATA66 5400 rpm hard disk, runing Win-98se, Bricscad 3.109 and sometimes Autocad-2002 for ADT file compatibility.Our new CAD PC is now P-4 2.2-ghz 515kb cache CPU with Nvidia Quadro4-550 xgl 64mb 4xagp videocard, 512mb ddr-333 system ram and ATA 133 7200rpm hard disk, running Win-xp pro.The typical CAD files we receive from our Architect client have grown to 10-30MB and many even larger in size. The old PC CAD computers were taking 30- 90 seconds to load/save or Pan/Zoom some of these files or complete some of our inhouse custom Lisp programs. Our new PC configuration is doing the same functions in less then 4-9 seconds and are more stable (fewer lockups and crashes)! The US price for these custom built PC ( we buy the components and assemble them ourselves) is $1150 including Win-xp pro cost, before sales taxes and reusing the old 21" monitors.Jeffson

I assume "good news" and your company is going to stay with intellicad.
