I am getting unacceptable lags / delays while datacad 16 refreshes displays of xrefs or during plot previews.
The problem seems to involve hatch patterns used in xrefs: I typically create elevation sheets consisting of an xref title block, and two xref elevations. If there is a stone hatch used in the elevations, the xrefs can take 30 seconds to 1 minute regenerating on screen (during the refresh while selecting or editing) and Plot previews can take in excess of 3 minutes. Batch plotting does not help very much - plot times are more than 3 minutes per file.
I am not sure, but this seems to be getting worse over time, or my patience is wearing thin.
Is this just because of the complexity of the hatch patterns? If so, this is unacceptable, as we have performed comparison tests translating the files to autocad, and the screen display regens are almost instant, and plots take 10 seconds. IMHO, Datacad's graphics engine is now probably too old, and is not performing adequately (?).
