    Why do the section and detail views in my drawings sometimes just show the hatch patterns without any lines?
  • JamesQ · 2 years ago
    If you use mass properties, sometimes the units will show up as metric, even though I use IPS. It’s annoying because I don’t know it unitl I scroll down and see that it’s in metric. Then I have to go to options and select ‘use document setting’ It switches back, but I have to scroll down again. Arg.

    Why did they tabulate everything (animations, motion study, sheets) but they don't have different tabs for different photoworks configurations? More of a Suggestion than a question, although I would like to know if anyone has thought of this and why the idea hasn't made it through

    why is dimensioning so slow?
  • Josh M · 1 year ago
    Hey John, what specifically are you refering to. Dimensioning in drawings? sketches? Large assemblies can really bog down dimensioning and annotating drawing views, especially if the drawing has a lot of pages, section views, section of sections and details.

    Thanks Josh

    It just seems that any dimension placed on a sketch or a drawing takes to long to process. The size of the file has no effect, it can be a simple extruded rectangle or parts in a small assy. Single page acts the same, I thought maybe some variable or option needs to be addressed.

    It could be related to a couple things. It could be the amount of processing power your computer has ( I recommend at least 2GB RAM) or it could be the amount of memory you have available on your computer, which could also be affected by a heavily fragmented drive. For the later, I recommend removing any programs or files not being used, keeping large video (movie, divx, mp4s) off the main partition and defragmenting on a regular basis. I would use PerfectDisk (the windows defrag is crap) I've seen your issue happen from all of these.

    Is it happening with just your installation or others at your work/school?
