CE - Slow to open files

does the file open any faster if no workspace/workset is used ?

Jon

Thank you.....

Tim.

I have the same setup in two clients.... i.e same approach to workspaces and Worksets. Only difference is the mapped drives and project folder structures

Client A (seconds) Client B (Seconds)
Open CE to file menu 13 89
Open DGN with Workset 6 98
Open same DGN without workset 5 83
File Close 4 85

The same files in both offices using V8i is 2 seconds on all tests

As you can see the time differences are huge. It doesn't make any significant difference if I am using a workset or not.

I checked the network speed and it is <1ms

If I do the same test using default CE its <10

Question - WHY?

What exactly does it mean and how do you test the network speed?

I ran the ping command to the server i.e. PING Server1 -t the result was a ping back in less than 1 millisecond

CE - Update 1 (update on speed)

Just updated to CE Update 1.

There is still a slow response to starting CE. Once loaded the file open is faster.

Do others see the slow speed on startup.

Hello,

We also have the slow startup of the "open file" dialog window on CE.

Also the windows-startup of our workstaion is slower since we installed CE.

Something in the CE causes slower workstations. Maybe something to do with the internet connection?
