Extremely poor performance

HouseOfMollari — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 14:47:01 GMT

Hi,

here is another report on extremely poor performance in Fusion Electronics. I am on a Core i7 10700K with 64GB RAM and a RTX3070.

Moving a single part even a single mm when polygons are filled, with disabled LIVE-DRC, ignoring violators, disabled/enabled GPU rendering, takes several SECONDS!!! and is UNUSABLE. Filling polygon pours or performing a DRC takes several minutes, long enough for a coffee break. 😄 😄 😄

Additionally I made a test. I exported my board and schematic to EAGLE. Moving a part is taking place in REALTIME.

Please, what is going on with Fusion Electronics. Since I´m using Fusion Electronics (over 3 years now) I observe a continous move to the worst performance ever.

Hi @HouseOfMollari,

Would you be willing to share the board with me? If performance is really that poor than a design like that can help us nail down where the big slow downs are so we can optimize them. A stripped down version of the design that still shows the performance issue would be super helpful.

Thank you in advanced for your attention.

Best Regards,

Hi Jorge,

yes of course, I tried to invite you, but it fails. Would you like so send me your Autodesk-Account-email?

There is nothing top secret inside that project.

best regards

Hi @HouseOfMollari ,

I received your invite and was able to access your hub, but you gave me access to the whole hub. Which specific project contains the files with the poor performance?

Best Regards,

Hi @HouseOfMollari,

I went digging through the project and found the board with the worst performance (backplane) and passed it along to our developers for review. In the meantime, try working as much as possible with the polygons unfilled, you'll make more progress that way.

Best Regards,

As Jorge mentioned it is not recommended to do heavy operations with polygons filled. To quickly un-fill polygons please note this option is availble:

Excuse me for my late answer,

Ok, nice to see, you got my invitation. I got an error while sending an invite.

You are on the correct circuit board. Backplane, or backplane-x8.

Yes, unfilled polygons doing the trick but it would be helpful to have high performance even if polygons are filled.

Thanks a lot
