Really slow Microstation Connect when Autocad (Vanilla Acad, Civil and Naviswork Manage, all 2023) is installed on the same computer as Microstation connect

Hi Tom,

If you have a corresponding Civil 3d Object Enabler installed this overrides Microstation handling of DWGs and is much slower from what I've seen. Try uninstalling the object enabler and see if that helps.

Hi Mark

I don´t wan´t anybody to unistall  civil 3d object enabler, this is not a solution for this problem. The civil 3d object enable is needed to handle information (proxy) from Acad civil to microstation and this is neccerary to have when working with acad civil and microstation!

With that said so I did an more deep investigation what and when this slow problem was uprising.

What I noticed was that in all of cases when this slowness was most up to date is when the dwg file had block reference with really density high hatch areas (It looks like filled areas but is really Hatch)

I solved this with the easy function of closed the level of this problem  hatch !

But is this information (level) some important information to your work this easy solution is not working.

So my result of this of slow microstation when acad 2023 is installed on the same computer is that the object enabler is not the problem to this thread.

The problem is in information created in dwg file, fill areas in dwg that seems as fill can be hatch, in combination with some other spacial element as MTEXT, scale etc created in civil.

As I said I solved this when closed layers/levels that had the problem information but as I said, if you can´t do this then you have an prolem with speed and instable Microstation.

Tom

Interesting, did you try it without the object enabler as a test?

We have benchmarked that opening and referencing dwgs when using the object enabler is noticeably slower.

For it to only have issues when autocad us installed implies it is an issue with some interaction between the platforms and not Micristation on its own.
