Dimensioning difficulties

Post by Jason Gooch »

Hi - this has been an ongoing problem (since I started ecabs, waaaaay back), I'm only taking the time to complain about it now. In LDE, when I'm dimensioning parts, the pick box likes to play games. At the beginning it's very quick and simple - I put my cursor on the node I want to start at, the little target appears, I click and pull my line to another node. As I work on the drawings, the pick point becomes more difficult to click on - I'll put my cursor on the intersection, and often the target either won't appear, or will appear for a millisecond AFTER I move my cursor away. It's like I'm a frickin' chicken pecking away at the screen.

I think it might have something to do with the continual memory issues - like the action on-screen is lagging behind my movements. Although that might not be true, sometimes I'll put my cursor in the correct spot and wait a few seconds and the target won't appear - until I move it away. Anyway, I eventually have to shut down and start up again, which seems to help but is a pain in the !@($*&%)$#(.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Jason.
