Shot in the dark (happened to me)- Review your configuration variables for any incorrect, bogus or inaccurate path or file definitions.

[quote userid="1013625" url="~/products/administration/f/product-administration-forum/212766/longer-file-opening-and-batch-printing-times-with-connect-products-on-a-network-drive"] I have even gone as far as placing the workspace/configuration environment locally on a device and the project files being the only files stored on NAS storage.[/quote]

Are all of the .dgnlib, .rsc, and other resource files used in your workspace/configuration installed locally?

Every time you open a different dgn file these resource files are reloaded, causing the significant delay.

In our tests with people working remotely over a VPN connection copying the entire workspace/configuration locally, and leaving the dgn files on the network, greatly improves performance. This is particularly true with OpenRoads as there are usually many more dgnlibs and other resource files being loaded.

Same experience here. It has been discussed many times and Bentley never gave answsers

I still don't know how people work on a network environnement. If we need to be productive we have to work locally...silly!
