Updating drawings and getting something done

[Anonymous]

Is there anyway to work on layout or anything while drawings are updating? I used to get all my layout done while updating in the background.

AFAIK, that is something we gave up in exchange for the unified file structure. Unless the layouts are in a separate file, of course. Don't shoot the messenger,

but the update should be so blindingly quick you wouldn't even have time to change the revision letter . . .

Of course you can always keep the layouts in a separate file to retain the old functionality.

Surely you jest.
That's what I was looking forward to in 10, "you don't have to wait because its always updating in the background". I don't see that with elevations and renderings, same wait time, now nothing to do.

It is a shame it has to update at all. I would think we are approaching the place where as we make a change in the model it has already updated in the other locations. This obviously is not the case:(. Updating in the background as we are working away would be the ideal. Why do we have these dual processors anyway?
