In my office we use a lot of dynamic blocks, wipeouts, solid hatches, fields, viewports, etc. in our drawings.
I was wonder what effects dynamic blocks have on performance as compared to non dynamic blocks.
Are solid hatches better for masking then wipeouts?
Do wipeouts hinder drawing performance?
Do fields hinder performance?
Do the number of viewports in a drawings reduce speed?
Do the number of xrefs reduce speed?
Does annotative text reduce speed?
In the end, I would like to know if certain drawing techniques that we practice in our office are causing more head aches then they our worth? Some drawings take a considerable amount of time to regen, plot, open, etc. and we would like to reduce this.
Right now we are trying to speed up the performance in some of the large drawings by splitting the information contained in them up and xrefing only what is needed, but this too has lead to other issues.
What are some of the swamps techniques to speed up drawing performance?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
