Which is fast as you are probably going to get with the check-in dialog.&amp;nbsp; Also the software seemed laggy before, looking for resources when doing certain commands.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would definitely recommend looking into this, if you want to speed Projectwise up in ORD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Anyone Experiencing OpenRoads Designer loading dgn files slowly in Projectwise?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/568535?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Feb 2020 14:18:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:beb5de59-3b45-4937-9c93-eb2eb5a0faa7</guid><dc:creator>Robert Huston</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;For us, its a pretty standard one-third initial startup, one-third reference scanning, and then one-third &amp;quot;the file has opened but you can&amp;#39;t do anything in it yet&amp;quot;.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table width="1126"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Defect&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;[mwsp] With OpenRoads Integration the dgnlibs are being removed from working directory when switching files.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;10.00.03.140&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;

Are you running soild state drives or platter drives for your workstation/ server? if you combine such with the dummy variable you have incorporated, I believe that you will see enormous performance gains even over what you have already done. If you do have SS drives, then...&lt;/p&gt;

Awesome right.&amp;nbsp; Well, I added a dummy variable to download all folders before processing resources.&amp;nbsp; Seems to have fixed it.&amp;nbsp; Loads just as fast as v8i did.&amp;nbsp; Here is an example of the variable.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;_AEC_FOLDER &amp;gt; $(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)Dgnlib/;$(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)Dgnlib/Line Styles/;$(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)Dgnlib/Feature Definitions/;&lt;span&gt;$(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)cell/&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;etc.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also , when I say all resources I mean all resources.&amp;nbsp; This includes font folders, preference seed folders, seed files, cells, materials, bumps, rsc, xml, etc.......&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See Bentley video below.&amp;nbsp; Note folder paths need&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;/&amp;quot; at the end to load correctly.&lt;/p&gt;

Speed has been an issue. We have been reliably informed that we should be able to open ORD files with references in between 45 and 60 seconds. For most of last year, my &amp;quot;control&amp;quot; files were sitting at about a minute and a half. We had a big spike in load times when we got close to a design submission in September (3-5 minutes per). Since then, I really didn&amp;#39;t have any movement on my load times until I deleted a bunch of levels from our level library. That brought my &amp;quot;control&amp;quot; file load times down in the 1:18 range. The level library is properly defined within the Feature Annotation DGN Library and not attached to each file. We&amp;#39;ve upgraded RAM throughout the office, including the server that the caching server resides on and tried throwing everything at the wall to get things moving quicker. We&amp;#39;re open to new ideas. Comforting to know that commenting everything out in the CFG files isn&amp;#39;t helping much.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conversely, our MicroStation load times are around&amp;nbsp;down to about 30 seconds, and our users are much happier about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two biggest time gains that we have had are when I deleted those levels, and when we upgraded everyone to PW 10.03.00.262. About the only thing I haven&amp;#39;t tried is running cable directly to the caching server from my desk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edit: I&amp;#39;ve been updating our files to 2020R1 so haven&amp;#39;t tested my control files in this release. I will update this post when I do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edit 2: My results from 2020R1 are same as prior. Posting my Level Library warning.&lt;/p&gt;
