Corrupt .dst?

Is it possible to have a corrupt .dst file, I have a sheet set with over 300 sheets created with Mapbooks and everytime I try to open just the sheet set in the SSM it take forever to open and when it does open can't do anything with it continuously acts like it is opening. Or could it be a corrupt file within the Sheet Set. Basically xref'd 2 drawings in to create the drawing. Anyone else have issues before.

Ok, probably not the same problem I have had a couple of times.

 

Mine would get very slow (with ±80 sheets) and I would notice the DST file size was like 8MB.

I was able to use some tools to examine the guts of the file and found tons of garbage deposited there by AutoCAD.

Resorted to a backup each time.

There are known performance issues with SSM, particularly with large ones. By default SSM reads out to your server to determine what fields need to be updated.

 

The system variable I have found helpful are: SSMSHEETSTATUS & SSMPOLLTIME

 

SSMSHEETSTATUS=2 TELLS SSM to refresh as per SSMPOLLTIME= <20 TO 600 sec>, this can result in long refresh times for larger sets.

 

If SSMSHEETSTATUS=1, fields update on open.

 

Play with the numbers see what works for you.

Thank you

I just went ahead and changed SSMSHEETSTATUS = 1, that seemed to do the trick. Didn't have a problem with it before till yesterday. Thanks I appreciate it, was really getting frustrated.
