Sluggish when panning

Too Long
Enthusiast

Ive noticed sluggish or laggy behaviour of late. Even more so with a trace active.

I wouldnt rate my machine as slow, the CPU only uses 30% when panning around, I have 64gb of RAM and a RTX3090 GPU.

Any tips to increase performance?

 

Could this be to do with the drive that contains the library maybe?

Hi,

 

First of all you should use "Structural Contours Only" in Advanced redraw options, this will greatly increase PAN speed in plans and sections. For me this is MUST setting in work environment. Also max our RAM usage 😉

If you use Trace reference it will slow down you computer in most cases, so use it when you only need it 😉
