We have been having problems with our MEP projects and we think we have narrowed it down.
Combining parameters allow things like Door Size to show 84x36 in one column. MEP uses a lot of these such as Voltage/Phase or Voltage/Phase/HP.
Apparently, when you combine parameters in schedules it can slow things way down. The work has slowed steadily with each version as we have upgraded.
Our schedules worked perfectly in 2019 and 2020. Starting in 2021 we noticed things slowing down. Using 2022 and 2023 seems to be even slower. It takes a long time to complete these processes if we need to draw something that will be in one of the schedules with combined parameters. It does not matter if the schedule has been opened or not, just the presence of the combined parameters drags our system down. It does seem to be worse with Shared Parameters, but that is what we use all the time.
The word I am getting from a reseller I have consulted with is that we need to not use all these combined parameters, that used to work and don’t now. This, my team, feels is unacceptable, to say the least.
I need to know if others are experiencing this. Does anyone have a workaround? Do we really have to change the way we have worked because of something that had changed in the software? Can we expect to get this fixed?
