How To Update ClientGraphics Efficiently

[Anonymous]

I've implemented the ability to select and drag client graphics around, however I seem to have to call PartDocument.Update for changes to take effect even if I am simply setting a translation on a node.

The result is a really choppy movement as PartDocument.Update gets called every time a mouse movement is registered.

Is there a more efficient way to update the ClientGraphics node without calling an update on the whole part document?

Thanks

The fastest client graphics are those you access through the InteractionEvents.InteractionGraphics property.  These aren't transacted and don't participate in undo so they have the least overhead.  For regular client graphics you can cause them to update by calling the View.Update method.  Typically this will be by using Application.ActiveView.Update.  This should be much faster than calling Document.Update.
