Hi folks
I'm using SW2009 SP4
I upgraded from sw2008 sp3 recently
I was hoping it would fix a "problem" i was having, but it didn't.
When I'm doing a normal vanilla 2d sketch, no matter how simple the part is, how simple the sketch is, smart dimension takes longer to pop up than i would like it to take.
I'll draw something, say a plain old circle in a brand new part drawing with no other files open and click on smart dimension and on the circle.
It takes way too long to pop up the dialog to let me type in the size of the dimension. (by way too long, i mean approximately 1 second, half a second for the dimension thing on the left to pop up and another half for the dimension dialog box)
Am i being unreasonable? When I'm flying through a drawing, this 1 second slowdown can be really frustrating.
Is there any way to speed things up? I've got 4gigs of ram, a quad core 2.5ghz processor with a very nice PCI-E video card, and little else running on the system at the same time. Are there settings to tweak, scratch files to put on different drives... anything i can do?
Is this something everyone else experiences? Am i doing something fundamentally wrong?
thanks!
