Very slow element selection is sheet models

I've noticed that when text or dimensions are placed in a sheet the element selection by block method can sometimes become very slow, sometimes 30 seconds to select a few elements. The problem is not present in model space. Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution?

Regards

Duncan

  • Hi Duncan,
    Greetings!

    Which MicroStation build are you using? V8i or CONNECT?
    Is it possible to share your file where you are experiencing this problem?

  • V8i SS3 459. I've since upgraded the team that were having issues to SS4 and at the moment I can't recreate the issue. I know I've had this problem before so will try and dig out a drawing that has the issue.

    I have  experienced the same  problem especially selection by window,  but selection by  line  doesnt  take same time for same  number elements..

    I can sometimes fix this by  shut down pc and restart mstn completley  .. I think it gets tired sometimes hahaha ... no I dont  know why but it works 3/5 times when msnt behaves strangely  to close down and restart...and  problem gone... I think I've been working with It people for too long  "....have you tried rebooting..? "

    I'm told Its chicken soup for pc's .. .
