We just converted our office to V11 and all of us (not just me with the 32 meg file.. see below) are noticing that autosaves seem to take much more time than under v10... under version 10 they were hardly noticable. Isn't there anything that can be done to make them happen in the background so DataCAD doesn't freeze? Am I taking a big risk setting autosave interval to 15 minutes?
By the way we had a DC5 file that had grown to 11 megs (it was badly due for a Lyrutil) but when converted to *.AEC it was only 4 megs. However, when you check DIRECTORY it said 32 megs (which I guess is the size of the swap file before compression)! I assume the autosave is saving this 32 meg file and not doing any compression or purging.
