    ProjectWise 10.00.03.434 and slow AutoCAD title block updates

    Peter Cook
    Offline Peter Cook over 2 years ago

    Hi. I moved from ProjectWise 03.167 to 03.434 about a month ago as I have been wanting to use AutoCAD 2020 and I've come across a problem with the AutoCAD drawing title update process.

    When AutoCAD drawings use the following right click action;

    - Check Out
    - Export as a locked file

    After the files are out, there's a process which occurs to update the title blocks which uses Autodesk's RealDWG SDK. We have found that the versions of ProjectWise 03.280 and newer we have used, has been incredibly show for this process to complete.

    It's not the data export process, that seems to be fine.  The RealDWG update process (used by the attribute exchange) currently runs at about two files per minute.  Before the upgrade, 03.167 would process about 2 files per second.

    Is anyone else experiencing or hearing from other users how it's slow to update AutoCAD drawings?

    Thanks

      G'day, for what it's worth, this has been logged with Bentley and the feedback is that it's a defect and has been referred to another team to manage.

      Can someone send me turned up PWC and ODMA logs from on of the impacted machines?  To turn up logs, go to

      C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\ProjectWise\bin\pwc.log.xml/ odma.log.xml and open the XML in a text editor. Select “find and replace” to replace “warn” with “all”  in the XML file. Reproduce the slowness with a few different file types. The logs will be under C:\Users\User.Name\AppData\Local\Bentley\Logs. 

      Please upload the logs here: https://bentley.sharefile.com/r-r0872f2cbe28a4183810731c4403ab80c 

      One possible reason for the slowness could be having UDP discovery enabled in the PW Network Control Panel. To make sure it is disabled, open PW Explorer and go to tools>network control panel. Check the box in the lower left hand corner to prevent UDP discovery

      Hi Phil, has there been any update to this? I know this thread is a year old, however, we are still getting very slow results with Autocad files on checkout/copyout/export and I'm almost certain it's related to the attribute exchange

      Hey Brent, 

      They have logged it as a defect.
      Originally advised the fix was to be rolled out in a Jan 2022 release but due to development issues it is now being rolled into the PWDI 4.0 release (no ETA).
