'File' Dialog Is Extremely Slow

Ben Goble — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 16:55:03 GMT

Hi All,

We have recently moved over from V8i SS3 Microstation to Powerdraft Connect. We have found that the 'File' dialog (below) appears to be very slow. Obviously, with the frequency we use this dialog, it is having a cumulative impact on our work. Are there any settings that can be turned off to make this dialog appear more rapidly, such as turning off file previews or can we switch to a simpler more traditional file drop-down instead of the overlay?

For me, the file button takes about a second to appear once clicked. For one of my colleagues working remotely via VPN it takes 10-15 seconds. I assume it must be something to do with the file previews?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Ben

CE U15 - setting active level

Peter Tegza — Sun, 29 Nov 2020 16:12:24 GMT

when I set active level using Attributes toolbar, the level is set, but also dialog to choose "Recall level filter" appears. is this WAD? and I'm not able to change level of existing element using same tool - again, this "Recall level filter" appears and when I click OK, dialog closes but selected element's level is not changed ...

this "Recall level filter" dialog does not appear all the time, haven't found reason yet. anyway, it's quite annoying.

-- edit --

just to be clear, I'm using Attributes toolbar docked at the bottom edge of the screen, not Attributes group in Ribbon. using Ribbon everything works as expected

thanks
