Topic: slow grip selection/response

[CHulse]

Has anyone else found selecting grips (on plines, blocks, etc) to be painfully slow? There is a hesitation when you select or unselect.
I am using C3D 2011 on a windows 7 x64 machine. 8 gb ram, not a slow machine...

Any thoughts on improving this? It seems like it needs to analyze the entire dwg ever time you select a grip...

thanks

Also try turning the Ribbon Off or the context switching off or both...

RIBBONCLOSE
RIBBON

It seems to be every file, not just this one. That's why I thought it might have been a setting of some kind.

The ribbon is already off (I prefer old school...)

Do you have the Properties window open (maybe docked)?

[CHulse]

We have a winner!! 

Yes, closed the properties box and all is well. Thanks - I have always left it up and never thought it would make such a difference.

Thank you!!!

Thanks Michael for your suggestions also, much appreciated.
