    03. Slow to start and use

    Applies To
    Product(s): AutoPIPE Vessel
    Version(s): ALL
    Environment: N/A
    Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group
    Date Logged
    & Current Version
    Jan. 2017
    40.04.00.08

    Problem:

    Program is slow to start and to use. 

    Why and what can be done?

    Solution:

    Sounds like a network issue

    check the following:

    1. Is using a data folder on a distant machine (like a server) or in local machine?

    Answer:

    For optimal performance, best to have the application installed and operating on a local computer. When installed in a server environment, network traffic can have a negative affect on the speed of the application. Another words, the application will become sluggish to use.    

    2. What are the Paths in Preferences Dialog?

    Answer:

    The Default location should have been :

    Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\Engineering\AutoPIPE Vessel_40.04.00.008

    Other: C:\Users\Public\Documents\AutoPIPE Vessel_40.04.00.008

    See image below:

    Other file paths can be used/assigned, however this may impact the application's speed.
