Bricscad V9 Feedback

Hi guys just playing around with the version 9 beta and thought I would congratulate you on the early additions. It's great to see Refedit back on board though it is pretty slow at the moment??? After clicking on refedit or refclose the waiting time can be over 30 seconds for average sized xrefs that V7 coped fine with. Also if doing an inline edit on a block it would be nice if the view moved to the block being edited instead of remaining at the insertion point.Secondly I found a bug which you may have already caught by the time you read this. And that is if I do a PEDIT and then click on something that isnt a polyline the program goes into an infinite loop telling the user that they really should have clicked on a polyline (program eventually crashes)! Also great to see wipeout included - very useful.Keep up the good work.Daniel

Comments

  • In regards to the previous comment on inline editing of blocks; I have noticed that blocks inserted in autocad stay at the position they were inserted while refediting, where as those placed in bricscad get shifted while editing takes place and then moved back after complete. What is the intended functionality of thie operation? Are they both correct or is this another teething problem?

  • This could indeed be a teething problem that will be gone in the next update.If a drawing contains multiple inserts of the same block, then the first encountered insert of this block would be highlighted to edit, instead of the actually selected insert. This has been fixed meanwhile (and the end result remains the same: there is only 1 block definition in the dwg, and that is the one being modified).Concerning the slowness: we would be glad if you could provide us with a sample drawing (attached to a Support Request) so we can investigate the cause and work on it.Kind regards.
