Purchased and installed v. 20. Nothing but a million issues. I suppose I was hoping for a different outcome but nope.

Its slow as a 15 year old dog. Antivirus has already caught it about three times... and then its wiped out... re-pair the install and the keyboard interups are gone... and now a few other programs refuse to work.

ARGH!!! And deadlines.

I swear I hate the computer more and more every day.

Sounds like you need to add the Datacad 20 folder as an exception to your anti virus software. Datacad 20 runs pretty much on par with previous versions when using like features. What are the specs of your current computer?

Sorry - not completely related to the thread at hand but I just had to chime in!
Agree! DataCAD is so easy on resources! I so totally dread it when I have to open either Autocad Arch or Revit! They are so pathetically slow and BLOATED! Even Autocad LT is SLOW to open - totally don't understand that at all!

A few things seem to be working like old again BUT the plotting area seems to be crashing every second plot. I save to a pdf file... bombs completely out every second plot.

Kent,

Please send me a drawing that is crashing out of PDF creation, I'd like to take a look at it.

And you are using DataCAD's built-in PDF generator, not a third-party driver?
