getting out of in-place editing

[Anonymous]

Hi, I wonder if there is some find of a way to speed up the program when exiting in-place block editing... it can take a real long time in some drawings, especially if there are x-refs roaming around...

Thanks!

Hi,

Let's begin with Service Packs and Fixes to download and see .( SP )

i really don't think that is the problem, i have all these packs & fixes...

[imadHabash]

in that case could you share us a CAD sample for a block that cause a problem?

Are you using REFEDIT or BEDIT?

something that I have found speeds things up is before you enter into refedit or the block editor, zoom out.  If you are zoomed into tight detail when you enter into the editor, it is going to regenerate the entire drawing to the detail level that you are zoomed into.  In many cases, it is as simple as just zooming out before editing.  Hope this helps!

wow thanks! i'll try that!

(btw rkmcswain - i use both refedit & bedit...)

Hi hanna613,

I haven't experienced this slow down when exiting a block edit.

Are the blocks in question dynamic ones? Do they have hatch patterns?

Can you describe your workstation configuration and AutoCAD version?

I look forward to working through this issue with you.

hi,
the zooming out before editing doesn't help at all... 😞
the blocks are not dynamic because i cant edit in place (refedit) dynamic blocks - so only regular ones.. my autocad is 2011 but this happens with all versions...
thanks for all your help...

Hi hanna613,

Can you describe your workstation hardware configuration?

You might try clearing out your User Temp folder.

Also, please attach a sample file so I can see if it is the file causing the problem.
