too long to open files

Michael Yeargain · Post by **Michael Yeargain** » Wed, Apr 11 2007, 12:04PM

Hey guys,

It seems that my jobs are taking longer to open, nearly 1 minute for a 2 meg job. Any thoughts?

Also on occasions e_cabinets will save a hsf file in the same directory as the job file. I have no idea why..I'm not exporting anything.

Michael,
Have you made any changes to your PC?
Have you recently moved any files around?
When was the last time you rebooted your PC?
Do you have a virus?

I had a 24 meg job file the other day that took around 5 min to load up.

Todd, Michael,
I have a couple of jobs that behave as the one Michael uploaded. They go to a white screen and stall for a while on opening. If I open those jobs in the Beta version (I kept it on one computer) they are displaying a lot of Hoops errors as is Michael's job. Is that what is slowing the load down?

I will have to get with our programmers on that, and get back with you....

There is something that got messed up with this job. It has to do with Inset Carvings. When the job loads, it thinks there is 4000+ carvings. Although, it looks like only one is actually a valid inset carving. Do you know what process you did while messing with inset carvings on this job?

I removed the offending inset carvings and resaved the job. Try this one out.

I don't recall inserting any carvings at all.

I started the walls then added the cabinets etc. I noticed it started to slow way down. So I deleted all the cabinets and saved the walls as a job. I then inserted the cabinets again and still...S.L.O.W...

Can yo identify the source cabinet for the carvings? If so I would love to delete them.

I don't have a router yet. but do not need the cabinet to be corrupt. It took me nearly a week to develope this library. It's extensive including sizable bar panels and wire chases with corbels...etc.

One other thing i might add. I copy my files into a briefcase and them to my home... hence the midnight oil. After I make changes I update my breifcase and then back to the shop in the morning...

Rick,

How did you remove all the carvings. And where were they hiding. I did a buy, cut and cost on the entire job and it doesn't show 1 carving...

This one says \"unable to open e_cabinets file data\".

I am uninstalling and reinstalling e_cabinets. Do I need another code? And do I just need to apply the latest build only?

man, i'm sorry. i posted the file that was save the new way. it wont work with your ecabinets. The inset carvings I am talking about are include segments that are internal to ecabinets. you can't see them. This is something that will be fixed in the next patch.

Is that the pre Beta version you saved it with?

How can I scan these files for carvings? How can I get the files clean if I didn't add anything to them. This library is big. And redoing them is a bit far fetched...
