Hi, I'm comparing the Connect Edition version (10.10.00.199) and the V8i version (8.11.09.866) on the same computer. On the same computer and with the same model delivered.
With Connect Edition everything seems slower. My computer is not very current but it meets the requirements for Connect Edition except CPU does not have AVX instructions. RAM 24 gb Nvidia K4200 4gb graphics card and Windows 10.
Update view V8i 2 seconds CE 15 seconds (CE needs 650% more time) See attached image.Wall place tool V8i 3 seconds CE 9 seconds (CE needs 200% more time)Door place tool V8i 2 seconds CE 7 seconds (CE needs 250% more time)etc.. everything is slower in CE
Has anyone verified that their computer is slower with CE than with V8i?
Can I do anything to improve CE speed (besides buying a new computer)?
Thank you
Antonio
Hello Antonio,
Thank you very much for pointing out the performance issues. Over time we are trying to increase our performance gaps with opening files.
One thing to remember when you are opening any files in CE, try to close the MS properties panel as well as the Explorer tab if they are docked in the session. That helps to open files faster in CE.
I tested the same door placement and as well as wall placement both operation took 10 sec & 4 secs respectively in V8i. Where as it took 12 sec and 6 sec for CE on my end.

Hello Alifur, thank you for your comments.
I have closed the properties panel and when I open it the performance improves somewhat. However the use of the program is slow.
I have tried booting with Openbuildings Microstation CONNECT edition icon instead of Openbuildings Designer CONNECT edition icon and updating the view takes 1 second, this is faster than V8i (Openbuildings Designer CONNECT edition took 15 seconds)
It seems that the problem is in Openbuildings Designer CONNECT edition not Connect edition or V8i version.
With the same computer and with the same model, Microstation CE is fast Openbuildings CE is slow
I hope they can fix these performance issues.
Regards.
Yes because when you are opening a file in MS, the datagroup properties are not getting loaded so the file open process will be much faster.
Also try to clear the prefs folder and see if there is any improvement noticed with the performance.
Regards.Alifur
Hi Alifur, deleting the prefs folder does not improve speed.
The Connect version only goes fast with Openbuildings Microstation CONNECT. With Openbuildings Designer CONNECT everything is slower.
Do you know when the issue of improving speed to match or better the V8i version will be addressed?
I have also the same problem. Sometimes OBD will crash without any warning. All my projects are very big. > 6GB on third parties files. And when I want to place a pipe or a valve, it took a 8-9 seconds to show up the Plce component menu. I think there must be a good investigation why OBD is slower. Is it the system I have to invest, or the motor of OBD isn't good enough for windows 10/11.
It feels like in the early days using a desktop with pentium 2 speed.
Hi Andy, thanks for your comment. With OBD Connect Edition everything is slow. With Microstation Connect Edition it's faster.
I hope they improve the speed. It is very necessary for your use.
Greetings.
