v6 is slower on my computer

If this is the case, you need to reinstall v52 and wait for the next build of V6. You can call support if you need help doing this. A lot has changed in V6 and it does take some time to learn the new features. Once you do learn the new features, your productivity will improve. Now, I'm not saying there is not some performance problems in Build1 that needs to be addresss.

Thanks

Rick,

Please don't dismiss my issues by suggesting I'm simply not familiar with the features. The very same functions I performed in v5.2 take 2-3 times longer in v6. Simply moving a cabinet in Cabinet Editor takes longer. I will do whatever I can to optimize performance on my end, but some issues are beyond my control and seem to require tweaks to the new version. Please help to make the program perform as well as v5.2 did. Thanks, David

Today I noticed that it seemed the cashe (SP?) did not to empty itself.
Tech today also told me to run the right fly out bar with display cubes NOT cabinets when working on the room and rendering, that helps some. This program is just one great big bad boy.

Breaking down your library into smaller subdirectories will also help. In preV6, you only could have folders 1 level deep under the cabinets folder. Some users have 400+ cabinets in one directory. Now, you are allowed to make subfolders as many levels deep as you want.

ex.
Cabients\Library 1\Corner Cabinets\Framed
Cabients\Library 1\Corner Cabinets\Frameless
Cabients\Library 1\Base Cabinets\Framed
Cabients\Library 1\Base Cabinets\Frameless

Thanks Rick. I'll try setting up sub-directories.
