Hi, i can see slow downs now yeah; it still seems workable but maybe that's because i have a very expensive fast computer ;)
Wow, finally confirmed !!! :-) I've got a quite fast notebook (core 2 duo, 2.4 GHz), but for me that's NOT workable.... Well, I'm very fast using cad, indeed :-) BTW, that one was a "purged down" drawing, still not the real one.... That one I'm finishing it, it'll become 3 times as complex on the end... And if you start working on paper space the slow down is multiplied by 5 at least.
Unfortunatley it's impossible to get a +relay log, probably copyprotection? So currently rather stuck now. The only thing i noticed is that when i compilw wine with the ./configure --without-freetype option the slowness seems to be gone again, but then again the fonts look rather ugly. Is that the same for you
Well, I guess that taking out freetype makes wine to not use TT, so it's the same case ad second example I've post. I tried too a relay/snoop, but no way.... those damn'd copy protections... their only usefulness is to make problems to registered users. Even a trace+all don't work, but yesterday I could manage to have some traces on gdi,graphics, x11, fonts, bitmap, and so on. It seems to me that on TT fonts it makes hard usage of bitmap2dib and dib2bitmap copy... but I'm not very good on analyzing it. You can do yourself, use the pipe trick in wiki, it does speed up very much the analysis clipping down the trace output.
I wonder if other programs like eDrawingsViewer behave the same. Could you give that a try http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/
i see a bit of a difference in speed, can you confirm that. Maybe we could get a +relay from that app, pionting to the cause for autocad
I'll try it this night... Is it an autodesk app ? I think the problem is because of some sort of optimization autodesk put inside autocad, used just on particular zoom factors. Maybe some older autocad has the same behaviour and less dummy copy protection scheme ?
