'External drawing status checking' driving me crazy

Ignacio Azpiazu — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 00:10:43 GMT

In the layout environment, every time I want to do something I need to wait until the idiotic checking decides to stop. It takes a while even after I hit the 'Stop' button. Can I set it to wait longer before starting, or set it to Manual?

Do you have the Drawing Manager open? If so, it runs much faster if you close it. I assign a keyboard shortcut to show/hide mine.

I just keep all my drawings set to Manual.

Here is how you do it. Just incase you didn't know. or you select all the layouts in the drawing manage double clik the drawing tool and in the identification tab you will see Auto/Manual updates.

Would be much easier to use the Drawing Manager to set them all at one time.

Agh! I always set my stuff to manual too so, but there was other stuff in the template in automatic.

Thanks.

I keep the internal drawings set to auto and the external ones set to manual... that seems to not get in the way (time drain) and keeps me safe for printing.. so I don't forget.

I am a newbie and this may be obvious (and still helpful to other newbies referencing this) but the update won't happen if the layer is locked.

Just to clarify this is only if you lock the layer in the layouts that the drawing has been placed on.
This does not apply if you lock the layers in the model views of Archicad.

this is still quite an issue, i can barely work in layouts, its all the time just calculating, and more like a bug since it doesnt stop calculating.

What happens if you go to the Drawing Manager, select all Drawings, activate the Drawing Settings Dialog, and set the "Update Type" field to "Manual" for all Drawings? Does it improve it?

I did it and it works temporarily, but I can tell you, archicad ned 6000 is not stable and goes very slow, me and my team are almost unable to work on the project due to how slow it is. It might have to do with switching to windows 11.
