Creating Cross Section is very slow in ORD to a point of bordering on timewaste???
we currently have 11km ORD project broken into 5 corridors, then we go and create / draw cross section at 20m interval (577 cross section) with only design and existing DTM.
This is currently taken 3.5 hrs.....yes everyone 3.5hrs, if I was doing this in MX is would take 30 secs.
Has any one some tip/trick on how to reduce this time by a least 1000%, as 3.5hrs is very frustrating …….currently using version 10.07.03.18.
Hey Stewart,
Is this in ProjectWise? In Projectwise, it tries to copy out every reference every time it creates an individual section.
You can stop this process by setting the Preference option described here (not needed anyway as PW is already using the latest versions):

Hi Mark
thx for you answer, but unfortunately all ORD files are local when we are sectioning as we haven't integrated ORD with PW on this project yep.

Ok so same issue as this:

You also might want to try this I found this lowered the time taken to annotate cross sections.
By default the cross section annotation uses “use all points” as workspace guy will not know what all users want to annotate. This sets up quite a large array which it then has to analyse before annotating the sections.
I now just use “Create a list of points” see screen shot below and I just call up the point list in the templates we use as we have a strict naming convention for those like we had for MX string labels.
It still not as fast as I would like, now down to minutes, but it certainly helps until Bentley speed this processing up!
