Responsiveness

Hi everyone,

Am I the only one to be concerned by the very bad responsiveness of AecoSim (all versions, Connect seems even worse than SS) ?

Load time is long. OK, we can understand it. This is the same for Photoshop for example.

But drawing, modeling, typing,accessing tools,changing layers...everything is slow. Not dramatically but enough to be anoying and very unpleasant. And in our job, no pleasure = bad design.

For example, right-click one element to get his properties....2 or 3 seconds. Turn off a layer in the Level Display: 1 sec. ff you move too quick, other unwanted levels turn off too. Change from one task to another: 1 to 2 sec....Even the mouse is not fluid when you hoover on elements...

And all this is not hardware or windows related: it is the same on all our workstations even the top ones (32GB ram, SSD, GTX1080Ti,....),vanilla installs, all versions of Aecosim.

So please, take this very seriously.

Connect UI is nice (need little practice to get into) and COULD be effective but it HAS TO BE extremely fast and responsive.

I am interested to know if this feeling is shared by the community.

regards,

Xtov.

  • I've had the same issue; compared to V8i Connect seems painfully slow.  The primary purpose of the revamp seems to be a more logical grouping of tools to make it easier to access across multiple disciplines.  Since I only use the architecture part the other pieces don't matter to me.  If I were just learning the software the new grouping would be helpful but to someone familiar with the system, it simply involves more clicks and having to reach further than the tool windows that can be located on top of the drawing.

    I'm a solo architect, not the main market for Bentley, and any modification or customization to the program is a painful endeavor with my middling computer skills.

    I've gone back to V8i which now seems blazingly fast.

    Is this just me or have others had a similar experience? 

  • Thank you Twoseas,

    I feel less alone.

    I am surprised to have so few reactions on this matter.

    I suppose nobody really switched to Connect for production (MS Connect Update .1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11 is not really engaging and AECOsim is so complicated to configure and set up.. especially for small companies.).

    I really hope this responsiveness issue will be solved. This is the number 1 priority for me.

    regards,

  • Christophe, 

    I can back you up here. I find that, although yes, U4 is an improvement on U3/2 etc, it is still way too laggy. 

    I find the most common cases of this are when initiating a datagroup tool, ie place wall/slab/stair, and again when quitting the tool. 

    Closing properties and only opening when required does speed up element selection massively, but is is pain because I like to be aware of what I am selecting

    What annoys the most is the time wasted when it just decides to go into spinny circle mode, usually after some quitting a command. sometimes this can be a fraction os a second, most of the time it feels like forever.  

    Amazingly though, this is quicker than V8 SS6 for me
