Mac Right-Click Menu UI Lag
Yes, CPU load goes up dramitcally with the right-click menu on my Mac Pro. Interestingly, it goes up even more during veiwport navigation of a medium complexity model but the framerate remains high. The lag only occurs badly with the right-click menu and slightly with other UI interactions.
Idle:
Right-Click:
Viewport Navigation (I am running a 4k display at a scaled resolution):
I was between buying a new video card, or moving on from the Mac Pro completely, as I only need it to do two things well: Keyshot (which it performs very well) and Fusion 360 (which is great except for this right-click menu and some other UI lag). Really hoping this gets worked out soon if its a bug as it is killing workflow efficiency.
Thanks mate!
In the meantime have you used the tool shelf yet you can conjure up with the "s" key ?
You can place icons/tools in it as you like and It is context sensitive.
I am with Fusion since it was in Beta and I have to say because of general lag issues I hardly ever use the RMB menu at all.
I did not see the reported lag - my main lag issue is with RMB and gestures and then Fusion starts to draw blue mouse line noodles
all over the screen rendering the RMB gesture system a hit n miss and thus pointless to use at the moment on Macs.

Yep, same here. I really like that gesture concept but it is a miss and hit. Interestingly enough I am experiencing the same on the high spec Surface Book I have in terms of gestures.
The blue noodles, not so much.
No worries.
to be honest gesture menus are cool only if you can configure the marking menu which currently in Fusion you cannot
so the RMB menu is less useful.
The only instance where it currently for me adds benefit is when in the sketch engine I have the sketch palette hidden
and use the RMB menu to add sketch constraints.
The S toolshelf menu is so fast. I can configure it. It adapts to what ever mode I am in which is the most glorious selling point!
It does not wast a lot of space. Sadly it misses the ability to display the sketch constraints.
If we could get a key to repeat the last command like in Rhino (RMB or what ever) than the marking menu for me has no value at all
as there are faster ways to access functions already present in Fusion.
