Topic: Do not try this at home......

[Jeff_M]

I am an untrained professional   

So I just learned a very important lesson. One that I should've learned somewhere in my past, I'm sure. :realmad:

The other day I saw a neat little challenge over on the Adesk LDD newsgroup and found a "messy" solution, as it was called by the person who origianlly asked about it. I didn't think much of it at the time as it was just a fun little excercise. Well today I had a bit of free time so I thought I'd try to 'optomize' the routine to clean it up........

So my lesson is this, don't EVER, EVER, EVER, try a new chunk of code while:
1. You are working in a real world drawing
2. Said real world drawing has a HUGE database of the objects you are testing
3. You are expecting a call to be able to continue what you were doing before you had said free time........

Prior to my 'optimizations' this code ran in the same drawing in about 5 seconds.  :kewl:
Well, as I type this it has now been running for 37 minutes. I've checked and double-checked to make sure that it cannot get into an infinite loop so that is not an issue 

I think it's time for a beer........

sometimes I wonder about parallel universes ... hehehehehe ..


extreme perhaps, but I'd once thought about disabling the VLIDE command except in my coding profile.

The last one for me was two weeks ago when a DCL file hung & the only way out was
Ctrl+Alt+Del but is was a test drawing. he he he
