Long saving/opening time in V23.1.08 and V23.2.03 - Solved

Jonas_Kraftk

Hi.
Is it just me having problems with long saving times, including autosave in V23.1.08 ?
When saving a drawing it says "Undoing conversion" and it takes up to 60s to save the drawing. I also get the message that the program doesn't answer during that time. (Very confusing when autosave starts and you wonder what's happening.)

When I use V22.2.06 with the same drawings I never have that problem.

Hi.
Just updated to V23.2.03 (Lite, Full commercial, computer locked license). Same problem as described above. Even long time when closing a drawing.

This is strange:
When connected to my companys VPN-tunnel at home and at work there is no "long time/doesn't answer" problem.
Disconnecting the VPN-tunnel, same problem. Connecting VPN-tunnel again, no problems. Disconnecting internet, no problems.
Connecting to internet via mobile phone 4G sharing, same problems as my home router (Deco Mesh router) connection.

Starting V22 (the same computer), no problems with or without the VPN or disconnected internet.

I don't use any datalinks or Bricscad 24/7.
What does Bricscad communicate with that takes time to quit quit/open program and open/save my local files and why does it work when disconnecting internet?

Are you on Windows ?

As a Mac user, I am pretty used to Bricscad V23 freezing when closing, in about 40%.
Or freezing when trying to open a File.
Or freezing after Mac had one or more sleep cycles ....

Not sure if it is really just temporarily freezing or a permanent coma.
When I forget about it and come back 30-60 minutes later,
it is still freezing.
So usually I force quit Bricscad a few seconds after I closed and saved my file.

Hi.
I'm on windows 11 pro.
I asked the Support and they answered that I should try to perform a clean install of Bricscad if it is on every drawing (Yes).

I haven't tried it yet.
The funny thing is that it's no problem with VPN-tunnel or disconnected internet as described above.

Sorry, forgot about your second post.
Did not get the internet connection dependency.

Do you opted for sending usage statistics
(I usually do) or activated AI Toolbar ?

Beside checking License, I have no idea what else Bricscad
would send or wait for ....

Hi
Problem solved.
I finally tried the easy solution to right click - Run as admin - and it works like a charm.
Why does that work ? Same computer. No problems in V22. Who knows ? No problems with other programs, just bricscad V23.

Hi
I just upgraded to V23.2.05 and I have no more problems with long saving/opening time.
It works perfect again, with or without VPN-tunnel, and I don't have to run in admin mode.
