Element Schedule Bug?

Anonymous — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 03:49:50 GMT

I use the element Schedule to creats a window list for D&W manufacturers.

I add a custom text column to manually insert text indicating lintel size.

Lately (the latest updates?) whenever I add text the schedule freezes/ slows down. where as before it was instant...

Is this A bug? can it be fixed?

refer attached schedule.

It loaded your schedule scheme (in future, maybe just post a screenshot of the settings).

I had no speed issues, but only tested after correcting your criteria. There is no way for the scheduler to know how to group the 'and' and 'or' conditions as you intended without parentheses. See the attached showing your original criteria and the corrected criteria.

Try these changes and see if performance improves.

Cheers,
Karl

Hi Karl,
Thanks for your reply.
I have applied your recommendations however they have made no difference. I have been using those settings for a couple of years now at least without any issue.
It only seems to be the latest updates.

Sorry that didn't help with the speed/etc. You might want to report to tech support - who may well need your file, or enough of the walls with W/D to be able to reproduce the speed issue. I've seen another, unrelated, slowdown in schedules in 15 ... and if you haven't seen this delay in earlier versions, then GS should track down the cause.

Cheers,
Karl
