I recently moved my development to a Dual Core Pentium Laptop with 3G RAM memory because V6 was just stoopid on my Athlon 64 box. The Athlon has a GeForce Video card, but only 1G RAM (which I have ordered 2G to replace).
V6 was pretty well behaved until I got about 20 cabinets in the room I am working on, and it's getting crazy slow again.
I am planning not to use any CNC on this job. My doors come with hinges that have worked nicely in the past. I need to build for ball bearing slides, but maybe I don't need eCabinets to store as much info for the hardware items.
I really want to be able to show the nice render, get a list of materials (just for wood is all I need, really) and costs, and a cutlist with sheet goods nest info.
When I open this small kitchen project eCabinets loads more than 200,000 objects...
What exactly, if anything, can I turn off so that I can cruise at a faster speed?
What if eCabinets could allow you to turn off some of this functionality, build your kitchen, show the customer the beautiful rendered views, then at some point turn on everything and take a long bio break or do something else while the computer crunched the job for the functions that were disabled?

Re: Streamlining my experience....
I feel your pain.....as I think most of us do.
i can't remember the user that posted the idea, but credit to that user.
The idea is this:
Have two libraries one for designing and one for manufacture and pricing.
The Design library just have only what you need to display and sell to the customer. No hardware, no edging no drawer boxes etc....
The Second library have everything in.
Do the Design and sell, then create a batch with the cabinets from the second library.
A bit of a hassle but it would work.
I do, however like your idea of being able to do this from the software. I feel that it would be a good addition.
i think maybe the priority at the moment should be cleaning up the memory usage that keeps climbing. That would stop the program slowing over a session.
